The OCRF (formerly Global Collaborative Research) was established to implement and support KAUST’s research strategy and priorities. OCRF is responsible for all competitive research funding at KAUST, including the broad competitive funding programs directed towards individual PIs, multidisciplinary groups of PIs, Research Center competitive funding, equipment funding, as well as funding for KAUST sponsored conferences and workshops.
The OCRF site offers updated news, featured content focused on providing an understanding of the broad scope and diversity of funding, and award projects that are currently funded by KAUST and managed and monitored by OCRF. The OCRF website also maintains up-to-date information about OCRF-supported events and other news for faculty, researchers, staff, students, and international collaborators.
