2023 RUGS Program
The RUGS mission is to facilitate the person-to-person exchange of knowledge in small group settings on a global scale. We continue to believe that the most effective way for people to learn from and about each other, and to set and accomplish common goals is to meet face-to-face on a regular basis. RUGS grants are intended to help people form enduring R user group communities. Active user groups may apply for grants on a yearly basis. Because it is likely that the persistence of COVID-19 will again limit in-person events in 2023, the RUGS program will support virtual events as well as in-person events.
The R Consortium RUGS Program has grown from being a relatively modest R user group support program to being the primary vehicle for the R Consortium to award Social Infrastructure Grants. Social Infrastructure includes meetings, events, conferences and any other activity intended to strengthen social, organizational, and identity structures of the R Community.
These grants do not include support for software development or technical projects. Grants to support the R ecosystem’s technical infrastructure are awarded and administered through the ISC Grant Program which issues a call of proposals two times each year.
