It's a great opportunity for early career researchers. Past projects have used the funds to purchase needed software or technologies, to compensate participants and collaborators, or simply as stipends to allow them to set aside time for the project. We're looking forward to seeing your proposals!
We invite interested members to apply for Career Advancement Research Grants up to $1,200. Proposed research projects should promote research pertaining to the design of communication, including (though not limited to): information design, information architecture, user experience, and more. 1/2
