The ISC RFP-AP and PIURN have launched the Tupu Pacific Research Grants to strengthen collaboration between Pacific Island and Australian universities. Teams of at least two Pacific Island universities and one Australian university will work on projects aligned with the Blue Pacific Strategy 2050. Up to five consortia will receive AUD $40,000 each, with PIURN coordinating efforts. This initiative supports researchers, especially early-career academics, to build networks, lead collaborations, and address key regional challenges.
