The Indonesian Science Fund (ind. Dana Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, DIPI) is an autonomous body set up in March 2016 under the auspices of the Indonesian Academy of Sciences (AIPI).
DIPI funds fundamental and frontier research that show promise for increasing the knowledge value of scientific explorations in Indonesian society, while at the same time participating in the establishment of a vibrant Indonesian scientific research community on par with global and international scientific standards for excellence and merit-review.
The need for DIPI was proposed in the report "Creating an Indonesian Science Fund", a collaboration between AIPI, the World Bank, and Australian Aid in 2012.
