# Goal of ISC Grants Program

The goal of the Infrastructure Steering Committee (the ISC) is to support projects that broadly help the R community. This might be software development, developing new teaching materials, documenting best practices, standardizing APIs or doing research. Currently, the ISC chiefly provides financial support for projects proposed by individuals or teams who have the skills to carry out the work, but we can also provide administrative support, promotion and some collaboration tools for groups who would like to study more ambitious projects.

The ISC generally funds two grant cycles per year. Cumulatively, we have awarded over $750k in community development grants over 5 years.

## Funded Projects

For activities that are well defined and scoped, yet require funding to help bring to fruition, the ISC has established a grant fund. Twice yearly, the ISC awards grants for projects such as code development, workshops, infrastructure, and other projects to help sustain the R community.

## Top Level Projects

For community projects of importance to the R community and needing long-term support by R Consortium, the project and ISC can consider the project for long-term status. This gives the project guaranteed funding for 3 years, along with a voting seat on the ISC. Projects looking for this status will need to justify to the ISC why the project needs long-term funding, as well as submit a 3-year plan and budget for consideration. Top level projects get priority access to grant funds available.

## R Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA)

R Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) was a group broadly considering
how the R Consortium could best encourage and support diversity and inclusion in the R
Community.

## R-Hub

![](images/r-hub-logo.png)

R-Hub was a platform for simplifying and improving the R package development process.

R-Hub assisted R package developers by providing facilities to test packages across multiple
architectures, build binaries, and publish, distribute and maintain their packages. Developed by
[Gábor Csárdi](https://gaborcsardi.org/), it was being leveraged by R package developers to improve the quality of their packages
and to enable support for their packages across multiple architectures.
