Qatar National Research Fund, QNRF, is pleased to announce the outcome of the 8^th cycle of the Undergraduate Research Experience Program, UREP.

UREP aims at spreading research culture amongst undergraduate students by engaging them in “hands on” research projects under the guidance of their academic supervisors. UREP also encourages collaboration between academic and non-academic institutions to promote cross breading of expertise between academia and other institutions in Qatar.

The Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) has transformed the research scene in the country tremendously and registered impressive growth, especially with the huge surge of interest in its National Priorities Research Program (NPRP).

Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) announced the grant of $113.8 million for the 126 proposals of its flagship programme, the National Priorities Research Programme (NPRP), in its third cycle. 

Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) announces the research awards for the 3rd cycle of its flagship program National Priorities Research Program (NPRP), with a generous $ 113.8 million divided amongst 126 proposals from 14 submitting institutions in collaboration with 373 institutions for more than 49 countries. Recipients will be notified of their success today.

Capitalizing on its success with the National Priorities Research Program (NPRP) and the Undergraduate Research Experience Program (UREP), the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) is launching a new research funding program targeting young scientists. The new program, named Young Scientists Research Experience Program or YSREP, complements the two other funding programs, UREP and NPRP and aims to provide critical and adequate support to young scientists residing in Qatar who are at the stage of starting or consolidating their own independent research team or their independent research program.

Following a large-scale communications campaign including public presentations, advertising and mass-emailing the National Research Priorities Program, the flagship program of Qatar National Research Fund, has achieved interest from researchers across the globe far in excess of projections.

A comprehensive survey of Qatari research dating from 1970-2007 has been released online today by the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF). The Biannual National Research Survey is the first time that all existing Qatar research records have been collected and archived.
