iSchools Research Grants

The iSchools organization maintains a research fund for the benefit of its members. Members of the iSchools may apply for these funds per the guidelines below. The grant application submission deadline will be in July of each year. Each year has a different topic. The topic for 2025 will be announced soon.

​

Applicants should have an affiliation at a member iSchool and should be PhD students or early career researchers (up to 8 years after their dissertation). Applications of projects with (international) collaboration will be preferred.

​

As a general rule, the maximum duration of the funding will be one year. The amount of funding per application may vary up to $4,500 USD depending on the nature of the project. Home office costs are not generally approved. The iSchools organization awards up to $20,000 USD each year. Successful applicants additionally get one free registration for the virtual part of the iConference in the year after their fund ends. They have to present their projects at this iConference. A presentation slot will be reserved for them.
