Rüdiger Kurt Bode-Stiftung is a Germany-based foundation focused on sustainable water resources management, primarily through its triannual Wasser-Ressourcenpreis. It supports outstanding, interdisciplinary, practice-oriented research at the interface of science and society, especially work that connects life sciences, natural sciences, and engineering with real-world water challenges. The prize suggests a strong preference for high-impact academic research with clear relevance to sustainable water use, health, and food systems.
Makes a single large award of about $100,000 through a recurring triannual prize program; appears to be award-based rather than open-ended grantmaking. Funding is likely nomination- or competition-driven, with specific calls announced for each cycle and no standing rolling application process.
Monitor the Deutsches Stiftungszentrum and the foundation’s announcements for the next Wasser-Ressourcenpreis call, which is expected in 2026. Prepare a nomination-quality submission emphasizing interdisciplinary methods, practical impact, and the connection between water research and societal needs; eligibility appears geared toward research excellence rather than general nonprofit programming.
