Her passion and expertise range from developing innovative food ingredients centered on reducing hunger, and contributing to global food security to facilitating research and partnership empowering scientists to create impact beyond the academic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After dedicating years to teaching food engineering, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/article\/syrias-civil-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ongoing civil war in Syria<\/a> eventually reduced her university, lab, and home to ruins. As the days passed, she noticed fewer of her colleagues and students make it to class alive. &#8220;You just pray that this bus will not explode,&#8221; she recalled. Realizing that her students needed more mentorship and support than she could provide, Dr. Mustafa had to make the impossible decision \u2014 either stay in war-torn Syria or seek a life elsewhere so she could continue her research and give her family a better life. She chose to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I thought to myself that I will die with others, or I will go do something else so I can help them.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Dr. Rana Mustafa<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>After an extensive search, Dr. Mustafa finally found the IIE Scholar Rescue Fund and applied in January 2015. The fellowship would give her the opportunity to continue her research at a safe international partner institution. Recognizing Dr. Mustafa\u2019s need and noteworthy research, IIE-SRF awarded her fellowships at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada from 2016 to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scholarrescuefund.org\/about-us\/saving-national-academies\/syria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IIE-SRF&#8217;s support<\/a>, Dr. Mustafa has continued working at the university as a research facilitator, while launching and running her leadership coaching business. Inspired by her experiences as a displaced female scientist and a survivor of war and breast cancer, Dr. Mustafa founded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.growstrongcoaching.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grow Strong Coaching<\/a> with the vision of empowering science professionals to overcome obstacles in their professional lives. Grow Strong Coaching has partnered with IIE to support displaced scientists, providing them with the resources, guidance, and encouragement they need to overcome barriers and pursue their desired career paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I am moving from that role of receiver to a giver.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Dr. Rana Mustafa<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Mustafa has continued to give back to the academic community, as she hoped she would when she left Syria. She has received multiple awards that recognize her exceptional leadership, innovation, achievements, and significant contributions as a scientist, volunteer, and mentor who has overcome adversity and multiple barriers in her journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IIE Honors: Dr. Rana Mustafa\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/slxwPx4678Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Dr. Rana Mustafa took to the stage at the IIE Honors in 2024 to share her story with Linda Vester, IIE Vice Chair and former broadcast journalist.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2002, IIE-SRF has provided life-saving support to more than 1,100 scholars from 62 countries in partnership with host institutions in 59 countries around the world.
