National Intelligence Discovery Grants (NIDG)

The National Intelligence Discovery Grants (NIDG) Program is designed to achieve Australian Government objectives for research and innovation in national intelligence and security. The NIDG Program was formerly known as the National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grants (NISDRG) Program.

The NIDG Program supports excellent innovative research that deepens understanding of emerging science and technology that addresses intelligence and national security interests. The grant program will facilitate innovation and develop national security and intelligence capacity. It will also enable Australia’s National Intelligence Community to systematically engage with Australia’s research and technology community.

The Office of National Intelligence (ONI), on behalf of the National Intelligence Community, established the program in response to the 2017 Independent Intelligence Review’s Science, Technology and Innovation recommendations.

The NIDG Program - Intelligence Challenges Grant Opportunity provides support to research that aligns with the priority research areas identified by the Australian Government. These research areas are outlined in the Intelligence Challenges developed under the National Security Science and Technology Priorities.

The Intelligence Challenges have been updated in 2024 and applicable research fields within each Challenge have also been revised or expanded.

Expected EOI Grant Opportunity period is 26 Aug - 24 Sept 2024.
