Advancing ALS & Brain Research
ALS remains one of the most challenging neurological diseases, yet progress in understanding its mechanisms can unlock discoveries across a spectrum of brain conditions. This opportunity supports clinical and preclinical research projects that investigate disease pathways, diagnosis, and treatment, with emphasis on work that may inform multiple disorders. Designed to foster independent careers for emerging […]
Breakthrough Funding for Brain Research
Advances in one area of brain science can unlock solutions across many conditions — from depression and anxiety to dementia and resilience. This opportunity supports preclinical, clinical, and translational research projects that investigate mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of brain diseases, with preference for work relevant to multiple disorders. The program emphasizes diversity in perspectives […]
Building AI Literacy for the Next Generation
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the world — yet millions of young people lack the skills to understand, question, and harness its power. This initiative bridges that gap by equipping teachers and students with foundational AI knowledge and hands‑on learning experiences tailored to local contexts. Selected NGOs will join a global cohort, nominating staff to engage […]
Research Funding for Policy-Relevant PhD Projects
Low-income countries face urgent challenges in agriculture, trade, labour markets, and governance — all deeply connected to climate change, inequality, and inclusion. Early-career researchers and PhD students are uniquely positioned to generate fresh insights that can shape policy and drive structural transformation. This opportunity provides direct support for PhD research that tackles critical themes such […]
Tech, Rights & Freedom Fellowship
From censorship and surveillance to AI‑driven threats, civil society faces growing risks in the digital age. Researchers, technologists, and human rights defenders are urgently needed to explore creative solutions that protect open information and safeguard vulnerable communities. This global fellowship supports individuals working at the intersection of technology, security, and human rights. Projects may focus […]
Carbon Pathways in Water Systems
Water utilities are increasingly called to lead on climate action. This project aims to map carbon flows across drinking water, stormwater, wastewater, and advanced treatment systems, identifying emissions, residuals, and biogas while highlighting opportunities for recovery, capture, conversion, storage, and avoidance. The research will evaluate value creation pathways — from products and avoided costs to […]
Climate Resilience Metrics for Water Utilities
As climate risks intensify, water utilities need actionable tools to ensure reliable service and protect communities. This project seeks to advance the integration of climate resilience metrics into water supply planning, helping utilities adapt decision‑making processes to shifting conditions. The initiative will catalog existing performance metrics, assess their sensitivity under climate change, and identify adjustments […]
Small Research Grants for Animal Welfare
Animals across the world — farmed, companion, laboratory, captive, and wild — face welfare challenges shaped by human activity. Advancing scientific knowledge is essential to designing better practices and policies that protect them. This program offers small research grants to support projects that deepen understanding of animal needs and welfare issues across diverse species and […]
Advancing Science for Animal Welfare
From farmed and companion animals to wildlife affected by human activity, advancing welfare science is essential to improving lives and shaping humane practices. This program provides large research grants to support projects that deepen understanding of animal needs, challenges, and solutions across diverse contexts. Eligible proposals may focus on farmed, laboratory, captive, or free‑living wild […]
