Awards reach up to THB 20 million over a 5-year project period. Priority is given to senior scientist-led teams that also mentor junior researchers including university students. Approximately 15 grants have been awarded historically. Past recipients cover fields such as rice breeding genomics, malaria drug-target discovery, and microbiology.
