The American Society of Nepalese Engineers promotes research activity in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in Nepal. We are pleased to announce a research and development grant opportunity that may focus on an individual problem or a broader technical challenge. The program intends to facilitate research, \u00a0 development, and entrepreneurial culture in Nepal to translate research outcomes into practical applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Proposals can be submitted by faculty, students, or engineers. The funded research projects must be conducted under the supervision of an engineering faculty member (from any university) or a member of the society following <\/span>ethical consideration and best research practices<\/span><\/i>. Research projects could be a part of a senior capstone project, thesis, or independent projects in any topics relevant to any field of engineering or computer science.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Award<\/b><\/p>\n

Each award provides up to $4,000 (USD) for applicants who are currently working on or would like to start research projects that are aligned with the ANSEngr<\/span> Research Agenda<\/span> (any topics are welcome this year). Multiple smaller awards can be granted each year. Preference will be given to collaborative research that involves any combination of students, faculty, and professional engineers.
