==Infrastructure Research Grants==
==Infrastructure Research Grant Program==
The Infrastructure Research Program was launched by Verisign in 2010 as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the [[.com]] TLD. The company awarded a total of $300,000 to four compelling infrastructure research projects. Each project were given $75,000 each and it was concluded last October 2011. On January 2012, the company announced that it will award two $200,000 new infrastructure research grants. The two research projects that will be chosen must be compelling and the topic must concentrate on internet access and infrastructural challenges faced by users worldwide particularly in developing countries. Experts in technology and policy development who have great contributions in the growth of the internet industry will judge research project proposals.<ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120117_verisign_to_award_new_infrastructure_research_grants/ Verisign to Award New Infrastructure Research Grants]</ref>
