About this opportunity

The Al Qasimi Foundation's TransformRAK Research Grants support applied, interdisciplinary projects addressing key public policy priorities in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah and the wider United Arab Emirates. Open to individuals and organizations worldwide, the program welcomes proposals from diverse academic and professional fields. TransformRAK combines two streams: Seed Grants (up to AED 75,000 per year for up to 24 months) support early-stage, experimental research and potential for community impact, while Acceleration Grants (up to AED 125,000 per year for up to 48 months) scale successful pilots and expand impact. All projects must include Ras Al Khaimah or another UAE location as a study site and demonstrate practical, evidence-based benefits for the region. Projects must demonstrate long-term sustainability and impact, with grant recipients expected to produce policy-relevant outputs such as policy papers, applied research reports, and public dissemination activities.
