Description:

This call for funding will provide support for researchers who wish to explore digital inclusion and related areas of focus, such as inequities in access to the Internet and digital skills, practices of design which exclude groups or individuals, and explorations of the concrete ways in which people can benefit from the application of digital skills and access across sectors (e.g., healthcare, education, civic participation) as well as ways in which people may be put at risk as a result of lack of knowledge, or skills in digital technologies.

This call is open to both emerging and established researchers and teams who are interesting in exploring digital inclusion and related topics. Research may engage quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods or innovative research designs and methods, but should aim to provide practicable recommendations, identify areas of public need, and propose or evaluate intervention models in the area of digital inclusion.
