ISC Grant Program
The R Consortium's ISC Grant Program funds projects that strengthen the R ecosystem's technical and social infrastructure, including open-source development, tools and community initiatives. It prefers projects with broad impact, a focused scope with clear deliverables and low to medium risk, and generally does not fund conference or workshop sponsorship, highly exploratory research or hardware and cloud purchases. Applicants submit a 2 to 5 page proposal on the required template as a PDF through a Google Form; the ISC has a limited grant budget and publishes no amounts. Funded projects sign a standard Individual Consultant Agreement and are paid 50% at contract signing and 50% on completion. The page lists two 2026 cycles, April 1 to May 1 and September 1 to October 1, with accepted grantees contacted June 1 and November 1 respectively; the R Consortium's RUGS page says the ISC issues a call for proposals two times each year.
