How can I apply for an ISF grant? |
The application process contains two steps:
The first step, registration, is performed online for all proposal tracks.
The second step is submission of the full proposal. For individual research grants, FIRST Individual track and Legacy Heritage programs this is done online. For all the other tracks, please download the form, fill it in and submit it to the ISF as a file and a hard copy.

What computer can I use? |
ISFonline supports the following:
PC users:
Operating systems: WIN XP, WIN 7
Browsers: Internet Explorer version 7 and up. It is advised to add the ISF site to the Trusted Sites, and allow pop-ups in the ISF website.
MAC users:
Operating systems: MAC OS X

ISFonline most likly will work correctly using other platforms, but the ISF cannot be responsible for that and cannot fully support in those cases. |
