Activity Summary Any person can apply for a NATO grant who is an expert in the field for which he/she is applying and who has his/her main residence in a NATO, Partner or Mediterranean Dialogue country with mailing address and contact details in that country. (The person should be settled in the country and not just a short-term visitor. NATO may ask for proof.)  To be eligible for consideration, an application for a grant must be submitted jointly by a person from a NATO country and a person from either a Partner country or a Mediterranean Dialogue1 country.  Any other combination (such as NATO-NATO, Partner-Partner, Partner-Mediterranean) is not eligible.  In addition to the two main applicants, an application will often include other participants from different NATO, Partner or Mediterranean Dialogue countries, depending on the topic of the application.
