​The Office of Competitive Research Funds 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 PI’s, Research Center competitive funding, equipment funding, as well as funding for KAUST sponsored conferences and workshops.    

The OCRF staff welcomes you to the OCRF website and hope that you find the information interesting and helpful to you as current and future recipients of OCRF awards.
