Small Grants

Do you have an innovative research idea that would make an impact on the water sector in the Middle East and North Africa?

The Network, through its two small grants programs, provides an exciting opportunity for water research scientists and practioners to carry out creative research. 

The Young Water Scientist Partnerships (YWSP) small grants program intends to build a strong partnership between (1) research scientists from two different Centers who are between the ages of 21 and 40 at the time of award, or (2) between a young scientist and a research team that has received funding through the Policy, Research and Development (PR&D grants program). For more information, see the informational flyer. 

The Water Innovation Fellowships (WIF) small grants program provides funding to researchers or practioners of any age.  Applicants must be citizens and residents of a Middle Eastern and North African country where a MENA NWC Center is located and a full-time employee of an institution or entity based in the Middle East and North Africa.  FABRI will pair successful applicants with member Centers of MENA NWC, based on best fit. For more information, see the informational flyer.
