FG Allocates N10bn for TETFund 2026 Research Grant
The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved a budget of N10bn for the 2026 National Research Fund Grant Cycle, managed by the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund). This grant will support research projects across 30 priority thematic areas, including Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, Engineering, Technology, and Innovation.
The process begins with Principal Investigators submitting concept notes, which will be evaluated for funding eligibility. Only those whose notes are deemed fundable will be invited to submit full proposals.
Eligible applicants must be lecturers in public tertiary institutions in Nigeria, and multidisciplinary research is encouraged. The application process is fully online, with the TETFund National Research Fund portal opening for submissions on August 31, 2026, and closing on October 15, 2026.
TETFund emphasizes that there will be no extension of the deadline. Successful proposals will be presented to the TETFund Board of Trustees for approval and fund disbursement.
