Overview

Recognizing that science and technology capacity has not

evolved to the same extent in all developing countries, the

International Foundation for Science (IFS) supports scientific

capacity building in developing countries that lack a solid

base in national science and technology training. It identifies

promising young scientists from developing countries and

supports them in their early careers to help them become

established and recognized nationally and internationally.

Grants are approved through a careful selection process, relying

on a broad network of world-renowned scientists who assess

the scientific and developmental value of all proposals.
