DOF CRIPBaR – Call for Proposals
David Oyedepo Foundation Special Fund for Community-Relevant, Industry and Product-Based Research
Introduction
In pursuit of the research component of Vision 7:2030, the David Oyedepo Foundation (DOF) has approved a special fund for Community-Relevant, Industry and Product-Based Research (DOF-CRIPBaR) to take research endeavours to the next level by upstaging research, innovation and discovery to product-based research relevant to industry and society at large.
The DOF CRIPBaR Special fund is a unique strategy by DOF to provide proven solutions to some of the pressing challenges in the country, thereby creating more resilient, prosperous and sustainable societies in Nigeria. The DOF-CRIPBaR fund is designed to support innovative ideas that contribute to alleviating the social, economic and environmental challenges confronting our nation. The DOF-CRIPBaR seeks to fund basic and applied research that generates products, processes, services or solutions, which may already be in existence at a prototype stage or at a concept stage, and which require testing with real-life users or in real-life situations.
