Applications now open for Regional Collaborations Programme - COVID-19 digital grants
Grants of up to A$10,000 are available to support digital collaborative research projects with Asia–Pacific regional partner economies for Australian early- and mid-career researchers.
The Australian Academy of science invites applications for the Regional Collaborations Programme COVID-19 digital grants. The grants will support projects that utilise digital methods of collaboration to address shared regional challenges that either directly or indirectly relate to the COVID-19 pandemic response and recovery in the Asia–Pacific region.
A total funding pool of over $250,000 will be shared between early-career (up to 10 years post PhD) and mid-career (up to 15 years post PhD) researchers. The projects are expected to commence after recipients are announced in early 2021 and must conclude by 31 January 2022.
This funding initiative is part of the Australian Government's Global Innovation Strategy, under the National Innovation and Science Agenda.
