Joint ASRT-BA Research Grants for Young Researchers
Funds young Egyptian researchers in joint programmes with African partners across food, medical, environmental, and engineering fields.
Joint ASRT-BA Research Grants for Young Researchers sits under the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology and is administered by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Center for Special Studies and Programs. It funds collaboration between Egyptian and African young researchers, with a clear research brief built around Food and Agricultural Sciences, Medical Sciences, Environment, and Engineering Sciences and Technologies. Each cycle can support up to 50 researchers, split between 40 Egyptian and 10 African participants, with a maximum of EGP 250,000 per researcher including 5% administration fees. The project window runs to 18 months, the program is grant-funded, and the eligibility rules require universities and research organizations while excluding individuals and commercial applicants. Applications may be prepared in Arabic or English, and the program is structured around two rounds per cycle. The strongest fit is a university-linked team that already has a defined cross-border collaboration and a research question suited to a modest, time-bounded award. Its value lies in matching Egyptian and African young researchers inside a narrow set of applied science fields, and the current record places it between cycles, with the last visible deadline in November 2021.
