TWAS-Sida Research Grants Programme is sponsored by The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). This program supports early-career scientists and research groups in Science-and-Technology-Lagging Countries (STLCs) in the developing world.
Funds can be used for scientific equipment, consumable supplies, specialized literature, scientific conference participation, and open access publishing fees. While not explicitly mentioning nanotechnology or biofortification, it supports fundamental research in developing countries that could align with these areas.

Penalties run to five-year debarment and False Claims Act exposure.
