Faculty of Informatics
Research Development Scheme (FIRDS)

Background

In an attempt to fill the gap between funding available from external funding schemes, research strengths/centres and Schools, the Faculty has established the Faculty of Informatics Research Development Scheme (FIRDS).

Key features of the scheme are:

  • Maximum amount for any proposal is $5000.
  • It is expected that the average amount awarded for applications will be $2,500.
  • Total funds available in 2005 are $50,000.
  • Applications can be made at any time, but it is expected that approximately equal amounts will be allocated each quarter.

The scheme will operate initially on an experimental basis and be reviewed after the first 12 months of operation.
