We are pleased to announce that INGSA-Asia’s annual Grassroots Science Advice Promotion Awards program has now been rebranded to Seeds of Science, Asia!

This rebrand marks a strategic evolution in our mission to empower local knowledge for policy, strengthen evidence-policy interfaces, and promote inclusive science advice across Asia’s diverse communities.

This expanded initiative in collaboration with the ISC Regional Focal Point for Asia and the Pacific (ISC RFP-AP) will enable scientists, researchers, academics, policymakers, and civil servants across Asia-Pacific to conduct in depth, impactful knowledge-to-policy workshops in their regions.

Applications are now open – Seeds of Science, Asia will be offering grants of up to AUD 9,500 each to successful consortia (joint applications with applicant one affiliated with academic or research organization and applicant two is a policy maker affiliated with government, civil society organizations or non-government organizations) with well-outlined proposals.

Deadline for applications: 25 August 2025
