Deadline: 10-Apr-24

On behalf of the FCDO Research Commissioning Centre, International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) invites proposals from organisations or consortia to conduct a systematic review of the impact of climate change on rail operations in Turkey.

The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of climate change on railroad infrastructure and railroad system operations in Turkey and to understand potential areas of UK contribution through technological solutions and services.

The FCDO’s British Embassy in Ankara is looking to commission a systematic review on the impact of climate change on rail operations in Turkey. The study aims to identify the potential for building on the strong existing UK-Turkey relationship and track record of collaboration in the rail sector in developing a response to climate change.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Research Commissioning Centre (RCC) has been established to effectively commission and manage research to enhance FCDO’s development and foreign policy impact. Led by the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), the University of Birmingham, and an unmatched consortium of UK and global research partners, the RCC aims to commission different types of high-quality research in FCDO’s key priority areas. All FCDO-funded research and development (R&D) investments commissioned by the RCC will be implemented using rigorous and robust research methodologies and quality standards. These R&D standards include meeting the Frascati definition requirements and FCDO’s Ethical Guidance for Research Evaluation and Monitoring Activities.1 For this research, the RCC is working directly with the British Embassy in Ankara.

The objective of this call for proposal is to commission a research project to investigate the impact of climate change on railroad infrastructure and railroad system operations, with a particular focus on Turkey. The research will also seek to understand potential areas of UK contribution through technological solutions and services.
