With the successful launch of The Information Society Innovation Fund (ISIF) in 2008 many developing economies in the Asia Pacific region are now working on their projects, with support of ISIF funding.
ISIF will provides grants of up to AUD $40,000.00 per project to help advance local and regional projects aimed at introducing, improving, and applying Internet and other digital communications technologies for the benefit of Asia-Pacific users and communities.
Project proposals from Asia-Pacific based public or private sector organisations, university or research and development institutions, and non-government organisations will be considered. Applications must be aligned with ISIF program objectives, selection criteria and administrative guidelines. Individuals are not eligible for grants.
The ISIF grant round for 2009 will be open in
April 2009 and applications are due
31 July 2009. The total amount available for grants in 2009 will be announced in April too. Grants are to be made on a competitive basis and successful applicants will be required to make project details, outcomes and findings publicly available.
Complete information on the program and
how to apply is available on the ISIF website.
The online application will be available here, in April
