IRA + Belarus Committee on Science and Technology
Bilateral co-funding: each country covers the costs of its own project participants from its own budget (there is no single officially announced amount — it is determined by the project's scientific field and scope).
Open only to Uzbekistan research organisations that submit a joint application together with a partner research organisation in the Republic of Belarus. Projects without a Belarusian partner (one-sided applications) are excluded from the competition.
Uzbekistan citizens only
First establish cooperation with a research organisation in Belarus and agree on the joint project topic, then submit the project electronically via the loyiha.ilmiy.uz platform. A recommendation letter from the head of the implementing institution and a decision of the scientific-technical council are required.
Periodic
Periodic — the Agency for Innovative Development and the Belarusian State Committee on Science and Technology announce it separately each time under a specific "round" number (for example, round 88 was announced in 2024–2025 for the physics-mathematics-informatics field). No official date for the next 2026 round has been found; however, the memorandum on scientific-technical cooperation signed by the two countries' Academies of Sciences on 9 July 2026 confirms the partnership remains active.
World Bank + Ministry of HESI
The MUNIS project has allocated a total of $50 million (2 components, 5 sub-programs). The main dollar-denominated grant programs are: the Innovation Capabilities Program (ICP) — up to $50,000 for small and medium businesses (SMEs); the Research Commercialization Program (RCP) — a $4 million total fund, up to $150,000 per sub-project; and the Business Investments in R&D Program (BIRD) — a $10 million total fund, up to $600,000 per sub-project (a matching grant). The project also includes the REP and PRIM programs, aimed at strengthening research-institution capacity (their sub-project amounts are announced separately).
IRA + Iran Ministry of Science and Technology
Bilateral co-funding (each country covers the costs of its own participants); no single officially announced amount was found.
Agency for Innovative Development under MHESI
Varies by project type (applied/innovative) and round — curated data suggests up to 500 million UZS per project; officially verified sources show figures ranging up to 1 billion UZS for some one-year innovative-project tracks and a combined 150 million UZS for some applied-project tracks — there is no single official figure; it depends on the specific round ("ScienceUP", "InnoPro", and others). Project duration is up to 3 years for the Science4State programme (some tracks run 1–2 years).
