RISPRO Invitasi dan RISPRO Mandatori – Pemantauan Tahun 2026

Riset Inovatif dan Produktif, or RISPRO, is an LPDP research-funding instrument designed to support high-quality research with outputs capable of producing scientific, economic, social, or policy benefits. Over time, RISPRO has included invitation, mandatory assignment, competition, and international-collaboration mechanisms, although not all mechanisms are necessarily open to the public at the same time. RISPRO Invitasi is generally offered according to predefined themes and direct invitations to institutions or research groups considered capable of addressing them. RISPRO Mandatori supports strategic topics established through policy or collaboration with partner ministries and agencies. Expected outputs may include intellectual property, prototypes, appropriate technology, industry-ready products, scientific publications, policy recommendations, models, or other results with a credible implementation pathway. Because of this orientation, RISPRO requires a strong relationship among scientific quality, user needs, implementation partners, and the intended impact.

Prospective applicants and institutions must monitor official announcements and letters from LPDP and its partner ministries or agencies because RISPRO opportunities are not always presented as an annual public call. Once invited, the team should prepare a proposal demonstrating the currency of the idea, researcher track record, methodological quality, outputs, partners, technology or policy readiness, and a utilization plan. Supporting documents may include institutional endorsement, self-assessment of technology readiness, declarations, partner commitments, detailed budgets, and other administrative requirements specified by the scheme. Selection may involve administrative verification, substantive review, presentation before reviewers, budget verification, and final award determination. A strong proposal goes beyond producing outputs and identifies who will use the results, the stages of adoption, regulatory and market risks, intellectual-property protection, and sustainability after funding. Universities should therefore build a portfolio of flagship research and maintain partner relationships in advance so that they are ready to respond when invitation-based or mandatory opportunities are announced.
