APNIC, the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre, is
pleased to announce the availability of a research and
development grant fund to support small R&D projects related
to Internet infrastructure development in the Asia Pacific region.

In making this allocation, APNIC has joined IDRC's Pan Asia Networking
(PAN) Programme and Asia Pacific Development Information Programme
(APDIP) to establish a joint R&D fund.   This cooperative effort will
pool resources and administrative costs in order to improve
the effectiveness and efficiency of the R&D funding process.
The administration of the programme will be carried out by
AMIC, and Asian Media Information and Communication Centre,
of Singapore.

The overall objective of the joint Grants Programme is to
promote an active R&D environment for Internet based
applications, systems and policy research in the Asia-Pacific
region. The Grants Programme is expected to foster local
entrepreneurship, build research capacities, and accelerate
the use of the Internet for development in the region.

APNIC's specific objective is to support R&D activities
pertaining to Internet infrastructure development and
management, technical and administrative policy, and Internet
resource management, particularly relating to IP Addresses
and related resources.  APNIC especially encourages member
organisations, including ISPs, academic networks, and
National Internet Registries to submit R&D proposals to the programme.

Small grants of up to US$9,000 and Project Grants of up to
US$30,000 each will be awarded on a competitive basis to
successful institutions from the Asia-Pacific region. The
selection and approval process will be overseen by a small
committee comprising representatives from each of the
participating organisations.  Committee members nominated by
APNIC include Mr Paul Wilson, Director General or APNIC, and
Professor Xing Li, of Tsingua University, Beijing.

The deadline for submission of completed proposals is 15 July
