Indonesia Project Research Grants 2018/2019

Offered by the ANU Indonesia Project, in collaboration with the SMERU Research Institute, the Indonesia Project Research Grants fund innovative, important and high quality research projects conducted by Indonesian researchers. The grants also encourage collaboration between Indonesian and Australian research organizations. Researchers in an Indonesian university or research institute from the following areas are encouraged to apply: (i) Trade and Industry, (ii) Politics and Governance, (iii) Agriculture, Resources and the Environment, (iv) Social Policy and Human Capital. Applicants are expected to find at least one co-applicant in an Australian university or research institute to collaborate on the project.

Funding

The research grants provide funding of $AU 5,000 to $AU 15,000 for projects of up to 12 months. The grants are intended to cover the cost of initiating new research activities, such as travel costs, field work, data collection or research assistance. The grants are not meant to cover salary costs of applicants or overhead costs by the applicant institutes.
Who can apply?

The grant is intended to support and strengthen research done by Indonesian researchers, and provide Indonesian researchers with opportunities to engage with researchers in Australia.
