Deadline: 15 September 2017
The Peace & Recovery (P&R) Program at Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is launching its first request for proposals to support field experiments and related research in several broad areas:
- Reducing violence and promoting peace
- Reducing “fragility” (i.e. fostering state capability and institutions of decision making)
- Preventing, coping with, and recovering from crises (focusing on conflict, but also including non-conflict humanitarian crises)
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is a research and policy nonprofit that discovers and promotes effective solutions to global poverty problems. IPA brings together researchers and decision-makers to design, rigorously evaluate, and refine these solutions and their applications, ensuring that the evidence created is used to improve the lives of the world’s poor.
Key Dates
- October 15, 2017: Applicants will receive a response to EOI
- November 15, 2017: Full applications due
- January 15, 2018: Expected project start dates
How to Apply
It is not a requirement to participate in the Expression of Interest phase in order to submit a Full Proposal in November. Applicants are encouraged to submit an EOI, however, for two reasons:
- This will allow the P&R Program to let the applicant know whether the project may or may not be a good match for P&R before the researchers invest time in the full application, and may allow the P&R team to provide feedback.
- The P&R Program may grant limited travel or pilot funding based on EOIs and discussion with the applicants even before the full applications are due.
Eligible Countries: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mexico, Myanmar, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia.
