The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) has announced its 2025 Call for Proposals under two key programmes: the Collaborative Regional Research Programme (CRRP) and the Scientific Capacity Development Programme (CAPaBLE). These programmes form part of APN’s core mission to strengthen regional research, support scientific capacity-building, and enhance resilience to global environmental change across the Asia-Pacific region. Funding awarded through this call will support successful projects beginning in October 2026. A limited pool of funding has been allocated for both CRRP and CAPaBLE initiatives that align with APN’s priority thematic areas. Proposals must clearly address one or more themes identified under the organisation’s sub-regional priority topics, ensuring that projects reflect the most pressing scientific and development needs in each region of the Asia-Pacific. Guidance for Applicants To support proposal development, the APN Secretariat has produced a concise PDF guide outlining essential information for the 2025 Call for Proposals. This resource includes submission guidance, thematic priorities, and details on eligibility. Applicants are encouraged to download and review the guide before preparing their submissions. All proposals must be submitted through the APN Information System (APNIS). Each programme call on the platform includes comprehensive instructions on eligibility requirements, submission procedures, evaluation criteria, and required documentation. Applicants will also find important reference materials such as APN’s Fifth Strategic Plan (2020–2026), which provides strategic direction for the organisation’s research and capacity-building activities. Submission Platforms Proposals must be submitted online via the APNIS system using the designated programme portals: CRRP Programme submissions: Accessible through the CRRP Call on APNIS CAPaBLE Programme submissions: Accessible through the CAPaBLE Call on APNIS These portals contain detailed submission instructions, technical requirements, and templates necessary for a complete and competitive proposal package. Proponent Eligibility Eligibility for APN funding extends to researchers, academics, and practitioners affiliated with institutions located in APN member countries or approved partner countries. The full eligibility criteria are provided in the CRRP and CAPaBLE Guide for Proponents available through APNIS. In line with APN’s commitment to supporting the next generation of scientific leaders, special consideration will be given to early career professionals (ECPs). Proposals submitted by ECPs, or by project teams composed predominantly of early career professionals, will receive priority during the review and selection process. This policy reflects APN’s belief in fostering regional scientific leadership and strengthening long-term research capacity.
