Pessoal,
 
Não sei se todos sabem, mas o Information Architecture Institute está oferecendo um premio para trabalhos. Quem tiver interesse veja a mensagem abaixo
 
 
CALL FOR ENTRIES: INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE INSTITUTE PROGRESS GRANTS
==============================
====================

The IA Institute will award two USD $1,000 progress grants for 2009.

The purpose of the program is twofold:

 * to encourage researchers and practitioners to investigate IA-specific issues

 * to publicize useful work that furthers the information architecture body of knowledge.

Applications should propose work that will forward the theory and practice of information architecture. This can include original research, a synthesis of important existing research, or the development of an innovative new technique.

MORE INFORMATION is available online ... 

Overview & Info on Previous Recipients:

Details about Eligibility & Submission: 
http://iainstitute.org/en/members/grants/progress_grant_details.php


IMPORTANT DATES

 * Oct. 31, 2009: Application deadline

 * Nov. 15, 2009: Grant recipients announced and first half of
   grant awarded

 * Dec. 30, 2009: Grant recipients submit brief progress report to
   grant committee

 * May 1, 2010: Completed work submitted to grant committee,
   published on iainstitute.org, and second half of grant awarded

This is the third year the Institute has funded the progress grants.

Previous grants have been awarded to students, academic researchers, and practitioners. Topics have included IA in higher education, a new card sorting technique, the use of internet cafes in developing contexts, and an intranet review toolkit.

A few more things to keep in mind: 
  • Any field that relates to or affects Information Architecture is a possible area for grant application. 
  • If an idea crossed your mind and you thought it was too crazy to get a grant, grab that idea and give it a shot. You never know!
  • This does not have to be strictly academic work -- anything that will result in new knowledge or tools is game.
  • Already working on something? Maybe you already have funding for it as well? Fine! The work doesn't have to be exclusive to IAI; we could co-support the work, as long as we can publish results (as specified in the grant description).

If you'd like to ask any questions, please email me at inkblurt AT gmail.com. 

Remember -- the deadline is October 31, 2009! 


Abraços,
