The Indonesian Science Fund (ISF)

The Indonesian Science Fund (Dana Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, DIPI) is a research funding body established in 2016 under the auspices of the Indonesian Academy of Sciences (AIPI) that directly funds researchers with the aim of producing the world-class scientific research needed to build Indonesia’s global competitiveness. 

The first round of funding will be in two areas: parts of the biological sciences (Life, Health and Nutrition) and social sciences (Identity, Diversity and Culture).  Grants are to be for up to $120,000 dollars a year for 3 years, with international merit-based peer review being a central feature, and a focus on funding fundamental research.
