UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science (UAEREP) 6th Cycle Award (worldwide)

UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science (UAEREP)

The UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement (UAEREP) requests innovative research and technology proposals that advance the field of rain enhancement, particularly in arid regions. To date, the program has funded 14 awards (across 5 award cycles), which have advanced, and continue to advance, the science and technologies that underpin cloud seeding operations in the UAE and have contributed to the global knowledge base on rain enhancement (www.uaerep.ae). This 6th Cycle proposal solicitation is based on the newly articulated vision and strategic elements of the program. The National Center of Meteorology’s (NCM) vision is for UAEREP to become the globally recognized standard for rain enhancement research, development, demonstration, and deployment of technologies and operations that enhance rainfall and water security in the UAE and globally.

To achieve this vision, the UAEREP strives to:

• Establish scientifically validated technology platforms and verification techniques that contribute to enhancing rainfall and water security in the UAE and globally

• Position the UAE as the global leader in the science, technology, and implementation of rain enhancement

The program is built on the following pillars:

• Managed Grant Assistance: Technical oversight and evaluation

• International Collaboration: Industry-government-academia

• Capacity Building and Knowledge Transfer

• Multidisciplinary Research and Innovation
