Applications now open for ISIF Asia’s largest ever grants funding pool

________________________________________________________________________


Applications for ISIF Asia’s 2016 grants are now open, with the largest
ever pool of AUD 386,000 available, across four grant programs to
support projects using the Internet for social and economic development
in the Asia Pacific.

Applications are open from today until 31 May 2016.

    http://isif.asia/grant

Projects that introduce, improve, and apply Internet technology for the
benefit of the Asia Pacific community may be eligible for financial
support in the following categories:


APNIC Internet Operations Research Grants
-----------------------------------------

The aim of the APNIC Internet Operations Research Grants is to support
the development of a research community focused on improving the
availability, reliability, and security of the Internet in the Asia
Pacific.

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

Public or private sector organizations, universities, research and
development institutions and non-government organizations will be
considered, with members of Network Operator Groups (NOGs), IXPs, root
server operators, academics, and post-graduate students particularly
encouraged to apply.

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.


Internet Society Cybersecurity Grant
------------------------------------

A single grant of AUD 56,000 is available for a project focusing on the
resiliency and security of the Internet’s naming and routing functions,
through innovative approaches to Domain Name Security Extensions
(DNSSEC), RPKI and BGP. These approaches should enhance user confidence
in Internet-based services and options for the deployment of secure
routing standards.

Strong emphasis is placed on documenting impacts and sharing knowledge
through papers, videos, and associated communication materials.


Community Impact Grants
-----------------------

Innovation and development are integral components of these grants, with
AUD 60,000 available to fund two new projects and a single grant of
AUD 50,000 to scale up an existing solution. The organization selected
under the scale-up grant will also receive a capacity building package
valued at AUD 10,000.

Areas of focus for this grant include women and girls in IT, enhancing
democracy, open data, economic empowerment, poverty alleviation health
and education.


Technical Innovation Grants
---------------------------

Innovation and development are integral components of these grants, with
AUD 60,000 available to fund two new projects and a single grant of
AUD 50,000 to scale up an existing solution. The organization selected
under the scale-up grant will also receive a capacity building package
valued at AUD 10,000.

Areas of focus include access provision, electricity supplies, devices,
Internet of Things (IoT), IPv6, and privacy.

The ISIF Asia grant programs present a great opportunity to secure seed
or supporting funds for those who are addressing local and regional
issues using Internet technologies in an innovative way, and would not
be made possible without contributions from APNIC, the Internet Society
and the Canadian International Development Research Centre.

Please note, all grant allocations are competitive and follow a rigorous
selection process.

More information, eligibility criteria for each grant program, and
application forms are available on the ISIF Asia website:
