The Indonesian Science Fund (Dana Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, known as DIPI) is an independent funding institution established in 2016. Since then, DIPI has conducted more than 10 international calls for proposals collaborated with national and international funding institutions and has been managed about 23 research project supported by LPDP.

DIPI recognized that there is a need for a small research grant scheme to allow Indonesian researchers to pursue specific but critical aspects of their larger research programs, such as to obtain proof of concept preliminary to a new scientific endeavor, to support graduate student research work as part of a bigger research scheme, and for the finalization of an otherwise successful research project. The small research grant scheme is particularly needed to support Indonesian young scientists in starting their research careers.

This 2024 Research Call aims to help young, talented researchers to gain more experience and research capability for their carriers. Young researchers who demonstrate the ground-breaking nature, ambition and feasibility of their scientific proposals, are invited to submit them. The scheme also aims to support fundamental, frontier, and excellent research including technology innovation in the focus areas of importance to Indonesia’s future.
