Outstanding Graduate Research Support Program

Funds doctoral researchers in Vietnam through science and technology fellowships.

The Outstanding Graduate Research Support Program 2026–2030 is NAFOSTED’s fellowship framework for exceptional doctoral researchers in science and technology. It was approved under Decision 2103/QĐ-BKHCN on 13 April 2026 and replaces earlier post-doctoral and young-researcher tracks that operated during 2018–2019 to this date. The program documents indicate a phase period from 2026 to 2030. Public reporting places an implementation workshop on 5 May 2026 at Thai Nguyen University as the launch context for operational rollout. Detailed application schedules, fellowship size, and full eligibility clauses were not available in the extracted source package at fetch time. In practice, the route is currently characterized by readiness in phase launch and PhD eligibility, with program notice expected before first grant calls can be assessed in detail.
