Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA)
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 [1]. In addition, the projects selected will need to demonstrate their ability to support one of the fundamental tenets of the organization, which is to develop, carry out and/or support any other Internet-related activities in Canada.
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.
Funding Availability
The typical grant will be approximately $25,000 - $50,000, to a maximum of $100,000. Grants are meant to be a one-time investment and not intended as operating funding for an organization.
