APPLY FOR FUNDING TO SUPPORT YOUR PROJECTS

The International Consortium of Universities for Drug Demand Reduction (ICUDDR) is excited to offer funding opportunities to support projects that advance our mission. There are two types of funding available:

	ITTC Funding Open only to eligible International Technology Transfer Centers (ITTCs).
	University Project Funding Open to eligible ICUDDR member universities that do not host an ITTC.

Eligibility Criteria

ITTC Funding

• Eligible ITTCs are located in low- and middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank. These countries include: Argentina, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, Ukraine, and Vietnam.
• ITTC Directors who are ICUDDR Board Members may submit ITTC Funding applications, but they must excuse themselves from review and selection decisions.

University Project Funding

• ICUDDR member universities in low- and middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank, without an ITTC may apply.
• Regional Coordinators at member universities can request funding for their university. However, funding requests for regional projects in low- and middle-income regions should be submitted through the regional work plan.

Application Process

The application process is the same for both types of funding.
