<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just a note to introduce this new funding initiative through the CAP RSAP program. We should aim to put in one or two bids by the 30 October deadline, and would like to encourage Pacific Institute members to propose bids either individually
or collectively for the Institute Board to consider and forward to RSAP (the Board will assist with some of the information requested in the application). Please note that the CI has to be a member of CAP, but there are no other restrictions on involvement
from non-CAP members of the Institute. Given that most other regional institutes will also be bidding for this funding, a reasonable ask would be in the order of $10,000 unless a stellar case can be made.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">There will be an additional pool of funding to contribute to the substantive activities of the non-endowed Regional Institutes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">Regional Institutes can decide to apply for this additional Innovative Project Funding. Funding proposals will be assessed in line with the strategic priorities of
the College. Examples of eligible activities would be major workshops or conferences held at the ANU, or visits by distinguished scholars to contribute to such events. Where the activity planned is being held outside the ANU, there should be a clear indication
that the ANU is the lead convenor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>30 October 2015</b>. Going forward, applications will normally be due in May of the year prior to the event funded (i.e. applications for additional funding for innovative projects in 2017, will be due on 31 May 2016).
