Uzbekistan has been an official NATO SPS partner country since 1993, making Uzbekistani scientists fully eligible. Every project requires co-direction by scientists from at least one NATO member state and one partner country (such as Uzbekistan) — so an Uzbekistani researcher applies jointly with a NATO-country co-director rather than alone. Priority areas include advanced security technology, energy security, environmental security and disaster forecasting/prevention.

Calls for proposals are typically issued twice a year (spring and autumn cycles); exact deadlines are published per call on nato.int.
European Commission
The total budget of a consortium project can range from several hundred thousand to several million euros. Under the Widening Participation instruments (Teaming, Twinning, ERA Chairs), a partner organisation may receive over €100,000; the exact amount depends on the terms of the specific call.
OeAD — Austria's Agency for Education and Internationalisation
The grant provides a stipend of EUR 1,300 per month during the research stay in Austria, plus assistance with accommodation and health insurance. Grant duration ranges from 1 to 9 months and cannot be extended.
TWAS + UNESCO
TWAS covers travel costs to the host centre of excellence and provides a monthly allowance of USD 300 for local living expenses; the host centre covers accommodation, meals and research infrastructure. Associateship status is granted for a 3-year term, during which the associate may visit the centre twice (2-3 months each visit); the term may be renewed for a further 3-year period if funds permit.
European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
Fellows receive a monthly salary or stipend (per EMBO's official country-specific “Contract Rates” schedule), a relocation allowance, and support for childcare costs (up to €2,500/year per child under age six).
