The R Consortium is excited to announce the second cycle of the 2024 Infrastructure Steering Committee (ISC) Grants Program. The Call for Proposals will open soon. This initiative aims to support projects that strengthen the R ecosystem’s technical and social infrastructure. 

Here is a list of projects that received grants from the R Consortium in the First Cycle in 2024. 

From the Call for Proposals page:

The ISC is interested in projects that:

• Are likely to have a broad impact on the R community.
• Have a focused scope (a good example is the Simple Features for R project). If you have a larger project, consider breaking it up into smaller chunks (a good example of this done is with the DBI/DBItest project submission, where multiple proposals came in over time to address the various needs).
• Have a low-to-medium risk with a low-to-medium reward. The ISC tends not fund high-risk, high-reward projects.

Whether you’re working on groundbreaking tools or organizing community-driven events, this is your chance to secure funding and make a significant impact on the R community!

Key Dates:

• September 1, 2024: Grant Application Period Opens
• October 1, 2024: Grant Application Period Closes
• November 1, 2024: Notification of Accepted Grantees
• December 1:  Deadline for acceptance of grant and contract. Public notification of grantees occurs shortly thereafter.

Submit your proposal by October 1, 2024, and contribute to the ongoing growth of the R ecosystem. Visit the R Consortium website for detailed guidelines and submission instructions. Don’t miss this opportunity to bring your innovative ideas to life!
