IA Progress Grants

We are pleased to announce the formation of two Information Architecture Progress Grants. The goal of the grants is to encourage and publicize useful work that furthers our knowledge of information architecture.

Two grants will be awarded in February, 2005. Applicants must be AIfIA members. Each grant is for US$1000, with $500 awarded upon project initiation and $500 awarded upon completion. The AIfIA Board of Advisors will judge the applications and select two with the highest potential to benefit the information architecture field.

Applications should propose work that has the potential to benefit information architecture practioners in a practical way. This includes, for example, original research, a new synthesis of important existing research, or development of an innovative new technique. The resulting reports will be published on the aifia.org website.
