Our mission is to support research that not only enhances the nation’s knowledge economy but also creates tangible social and economic benefits. From universities and institutes to private enterprises, we empower researchers with the resources, guidance, and funding needed to address the most pressing challenges of today while crafting sustainable solutions for tomorrow.

And a study also is being prepared around the performance of the scientific research in UAE universities in collaboration with Thomson Reuters Foundation in accordance with the international standards for assessing and classifying the published researches in the literature accredited internationally. The Foundation also provided a number of grants and awards, including research grants to fund the projects of faculty members dispatched by the country.

Each research project we fund undergoes rigorous international peer review, ensuring that only the most promising and impactful ideas receive our support. Our commitment to nurturing talent and fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration means we are not only advancing the UAE’s national priorities but also contributing to global scientific progress. Whether it’s solving critical environmental challenges or developing the next technological breakthrough, NRF is where innovation begins.
