Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN)'s 2024 Call for Proposals Launch

The APN Secretariat is pleased to announce the launch of its 2024 Call for Proposals, inviting proposals under two separate programmes supporting APN’s core activities through our Collaborative Regional Research Programme (CRRP) and the Scientific Capacity Development Programme (CAPaBLE). A limited amount of funding is available to support CRRP and CAPaBLE activities from October 2025, relevant to APN’s thematic areas that specifically target one (or more) themes under its sub-regional priority topics for funding. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, 8 December 2024 (midnight JST). 

Proponent eligibility

Researchers, academics, practitioners working in institutions based in APN member countries and approved countries are eligible to apply for APN grants. Details of eligibility criteria are outlined in the CRRP and CAPaBLE Guide for Proponents, available on the APNIS system.

Special consideration: APN emphasises support for early-career professionals (ECPs) in the Asia-Pacific region and strongly encourages applications from this cohort. Eligible proposals from ECPs or ECP-majority project teams will be given priority.

Key dates

For 2024, the following deadlines must be observed:

• Stage 1: Submission of Summary Proposal (online via APNIS): Sunday, 8 December 2024, midnight (24:00) – Japanese Standard Time.
• Stage 2: Submission of Full Proposal and compulsory appendices (online via APNIS) by successful Stage 1 Proponents, by invitation only: Sunday, 30 March 2025, midnight (24:00) – Japanese Standard Time.
