           The SIRCA Programme seeks to identify future research
leaders and to facilitate their development through the support of
research grants. The awards are intended to ensure capacities to conduct
research in the area of Information and Communications Technology for
Development (ICT4D or ICTD) are built in Asia. This applies particularly
to emerging researchers based in Asia who are relatively new to ICTD
research and interested in undertaking theoretically-based and
methodologically rigorous research. Additionally, these applicants would
benefit from concerted capacity building exercises including a
mentorship arrangement. In particular, the program promotes broad-based
high-quality multidisciplinary research in ICT development, e-services,
new media use and social impact, and policy for the benefit and
advancement of individuals, organizations, nation and society.
