NPRP is the flagship funding program of QNRF. It is announced annually to fund successful proposals ranging from US$ 20,000 up to US$ 350,000 per year, for research project periods of one, two or three years. At least 65% of the total annual budget must be expended within Qatar. At least 50% of the proposed funded research days must be conducted in Qatar by the

by QNRF could take place, in part, at other venues, LPIs may collaborate with accredited
research organizations in other parts of the world. Electronic online submissions must be completed in accordance with the timeline posted in the guidelines.INDIRECT COSTS OF 20% MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT BUDGET |
