Purpose of C4IP Grants for Research Scholarship and Writing in Intellectual Property
- C4IP is dedicated to offering recommendations for intellectual property policy that are supported by evidence. C4IP intends to fund novel, empirically-based research to that goal through this award programme. While C4IP welcomes applications from all qualified academics, it also encourages collaboration between legal academia and other fields of social science or economic study as well as applications from scholars outside of legal academia.

Award Specifics
- For the purpose of funding research projects that result in finished literary works, C4IP will offer grants of up to $25,000. If the final written product is released, it should include a statement mentioning C4IP funding. The main researcher will receive awards to disperse as necessary.
- Overhead or indirect expenditures are not permitted to be covered by the money. The format for proposals is given below. They should include a specified research topic, a proposed budget, and a completion date. Although longer or shorter time periods will be taken into consideration, a six-month timeline is ideal.
- The selection of proposals for financing will be made based on an internal assessment procedure that will involve the board members of C4IP. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis.
eligibility
- Any full-time assistant, associate, or professor at a university, institution of higher learning that grants degrees, or law school at the time the application is submitted is eligible to receive an award to serve as the principal researcher.
- Any of these positions are open to additional researchers, as well as those pursuing a graduate degree, a postdoctoral degree, a J.D., or an LLM.
