Offered by the ANU Indonesia Project, in collaboration with The SMERU Research Institute, the Research Grants fund innovative, important and high-quality research projects conducted by Indonesian and Australian researchers. Indonesian researchers at an Indonesian university or research institute conducting research in the following areas are invited to apply

(i) Trade and Industry,
(ii) Politics and Governance,
(iii) Agriculture, Resources and the Environment,
(iv) Social Policy and Human Capital.

To facilitate research related to COVID-19 response and recovery, this year we also strongly encourage proposals from three key areas:

(i) Health Security;
(ii) Stability; and
(iii) Economic Recovery.

To be considered for the grant, applications must have at least one co-applicant at an Australian university or research institute.

* Due to COVID-19, we have had to make some changes to the way the Research Grants will be run in 2021. Most notably, (1) the 2021 grants cannot be used to support travel, and (2) the value of the grants has been reduced (now up to AUD8,000).
