IRA + Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education
The Uzbekistan side covers the costs of its own participants on a co-funding basis; no single officially announced amount was found — the curated figure (up to 300 million UZS) has been left unchanged.
Open to Uzbekistan research organisations that submit a joint application together with a partner research organisation in the Russian Federation; applied and innovative projects are accepted within the framework of state scientific programmes.
Uzbekistan citizens only
Form a joint project in cooperation with a research organisation in the Russian Federation, then submit the following documents via the loyiha.ilmiy.uz electronic platform: a recommendation letter from the head of the implementing institution, a copy of the scientific(-technical) council's decision, and the text of the applied/innovative project (signed and stamped, in PDF and DOC/DOCX formats).
Periodic
Periodic — announced by the Agency for Innovative Development and Russia's Ministry of Science and Higher Education through separate "round" announcements (alongside similar intergovernmental calls such as Uzbekistan-China, Uzbekistan-Belarus, and Uzbekistan-Hungary, which are announced regularly). Russia's Ministry of Science and Higher Education also runs its own grant call for Russian participants (e.g., a 2-year grant for 2026-2027, up to 10 million rubles per year; the previous round's application deadline was 15 July 2025). The exact date of the next round on the Uzbekistan side for 2026 has not been officially found.
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).
