The grants are open to researchers working on Internet operations, infrastructure and related protocols in areas such as:
    - Network measurement and analysis    - IPv6 deployment    - BGP routing    - Network security    - Peering and interconnection

Applicants can apply for funding between AUD 5,000 to AUD 45,000 based on research needs, a realistic timeframe, and a detailed budget. AUD 90,000 is available in total to fund successful applications.
