How to Apply

Click the apply button below to access the online funding application. 

If your proposal includes travel to an elevated risk country, you will need to submit a request to ITART to travel. In the event that you receive Einaudi travel grant funds, the award will not be released until you complete the ITART application process. You are strongly encouraged to have a back-up plan for your project in the event that your ITART application is denied, or if the country to which you are traveling should become an elevated risk country subsequent to receiving your travel grant.
