Description
The Canadian Internet Registration Authority, through this grant program, will make strategic investments in Internet related community projects consistent with CIRA’s Strategic Plan. This year, the program will focus on four key funding areas infrastructure, digital literacy, cybersecurity and community leadership.
While CIRA’s granting program will consider applications that benefit all Canadians, in 2020 we’re especially looking for initiatives that benefit:
-
Students (kindergarten to grade 12 and post-secondary)
-
Northern, rural and Indigenous communities
Eligibility
Academics and researchers affiliated with a Canadian university. Organizations must be based in Canada and projects, while they can have a broader impact, must be of benefit to Canadians. There are no limits for academic institutions; however, the lead researcher(s) may submit only one application at a time.
Maximum Project Value
Grants are available up to $100,000. For this competition, one grant will be available up to $250,000.
Grants are meant to be a one-time investment and not intended as operating funding for an organization.
Indirect Costs
15% of the total amount requested (for example: $25,000 total amount requested divided by .85 = $29,411.76 x .15 = $4,412 IDC).
Project Duration
Up to one year for grants up to $100,000. Up to two years for the one grant up to $250,000.
Deadlines
If College-level review is required, your College will communicate its earlier internal deadlines.
