Expression of Interest for Application

Before submitting a full funding application, interested organizations are strongly encouraged to submit an expression of interest to the URF first to start the dialogue process. Without the need to provide too many project details and to enter into detailed assessments, the expression of interest will facilitate exchanges of views between the organization and the URF on the project idea resulting in an early indication of whether in-principle support for the proposed project is forthcoming from the URF, based on which the organization will decide whether to submit a full funding application. For the information required in the submission of the expression of interest, please download from HERE.

For organizations interested to submit an expression of interest for Seventh Round applications, the closing date is 29 February 2024.
