Call for Research Grant Proposals AERA Grants Program Seeks Proposals for Research Grants

The deadline has passed.

With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Grants Program seeks proposals for Research Grants. The AERA Grants Program provides Research Grants to faculty at institutions of higher education, postdoctoral researchers, and other doctoral­level scholars. The aim of the program is to advance fundamental knowledge of relevance to STEM education policy, foster significant science using education data, promote equity in STEM, and build research capacity in education and learning. The program supports highly competitive studies using rigorous quantitative methods to examine large-scale, education-related data. Since 1991, this AERA Program has been vital to both research and training at early career stages.   

The Grants Program encourages the use of major data sets from multiple and diverse sources. It emphasizes the advanced statistical analysis of data sets from the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other federal agencies. The program also supports studies using large-scale international data systems (e.g., PISA, PIRLS, or TIMMS) that benefit from U.S. federal government support. In addition, statewide longitudinal administrative data systems (SLDS) enhanced through federal grants are also eligible for consideration. The inclusion of federal or state administrative information that further expands the analytic capacity of the research is permissible. The thrust of the analysis needs to be generalizable to a national, state, or population or a subgroup within the sample that the dataset represents.

The Grants Program is open to field-initiated research and welcomes proposals that:

• develop or benefit from advanced statistical or innovative quantitative methods or measures;
• analyze more than one large-scale national or international federally funded data set, or more than one statewide longitudinal data system (SLDS) or incorporate other data enhancements;
• integrate, link, or blend multiple large-scale data sources; or
• undertake replication research of major findings or major studies using large-scale, federally supported or enhanced data.

The Grants Program encourages proposals across the life span and contexts of education and learning of relevance to STEM policy and practice. The research may focus on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to such issues as student achievement in STEM, analysis of STEM education policies, contextual factors in education, educational participation and persistence (pre-kindergarten through graduate school), early childhood education and development, postsecondary education, and the STEM workforce and transitions. Studies that examine issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion across STEM topics and/or for specific racial and ethnic groups, social classes, genders, or persons with disabilities are encouraged.

Applicant Eligibility Research Grants are available for faculty at institutions of higher education, postdoctoral researchers, and other doctoral­level scholars. Proposals are encouraged from the full range of education research fields and other fields and disciplines engaged in education-related research, including economics, political science, psychology, sociology, demography, statistics, public policy, and psychometrics. Applicants for this one-year or two-year, non-renewable award must have received their doctoral degree at the start of the award. Applicants may be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. Non­U.S. citizens affiliated with a U.S. university or institution are also eligible to apply. Underrepresented racial and ethnic minority researchers as well as women, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.

Researchers who have previously received Research Grants through the AERA Grants Program (as a PI or Co­PI) may not apply for a Research Grant. However, applicants who have received an AERA Dissertation Grant are eligible to apply for a Research Grant. Dissertation Grant recipients must complete the Dissertation Grant before applying for a Research Grant.

Data Set Eligibility The research project must include the analysis of large-scale data. The data set can originate from one or multiple sources, including (1) federal data bases, (2) federally supported national studies, (3) international data sets supported by federal funds, or (4) statewide longitudinal administrative data systems (SLDS) enhanced through federal grants. Although the emphasis is on large-scale education data sets and systems, other social science and health-related databases that can advance knowledge about education and learning are eligible for consideration.

Many national data resources, including important longitudinal data sets, have been developed or funded by NCES, NSF, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Census Bureau, the National Institutes of Health, or other federal agencies. International datasets such as PISA, PIAAC, TIMMS, and others are supported. If international data sets are used, the study must include U.S. education.

NCES has enhanced and improved SLDS through grants to nearly every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and America Samoa. This federal investment has produced state-level data from pre-K to grade 12, through higher education, and into the workforce. Many SLDS are available for analysis and can be used to address salient issues in education research or linked with other data sets.

Data Set Access The data set(s) of interest must be available for analysis at the time of application. Use of public or restricted-data files is permissible. Prior to receiving funding, applicants must provide documentation that they have permission to use the data for the research project. 

Data Sharing All data or data-related products produced under the AERA Grants Program must be shared and made available consonant with ethical standards for the conduct of research. Grantees are expected to place article-related data, [1] codebook or coding procedures, algorithms, code, and so forth in an accessible archive at the time of publication. Also, at a reasonable time after completion of the research project, all data or data-related products must be archived at the AERA-ICPSR Data Sharing Repository supported by NSF and located at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan. AERA provides guidance to facilitate the data sharing and archiving process.

Research Grant Award Awards for Research Grants are up to $25,000 for 1­year projects, or up to $35,000 for 2­year projects. In accordance with AERA's agreement with the funding agencies, institutions may not charge indirect costs or overhead on these awards.

The funds can be used for research-related expenses such as course buyout, summer salary, travel to secure data enclaves or scholarly conferences, books, computer equipment, and other expenses directly related to conducting this research. As part of the proposal, applicants provide a budget that outlines anticipated research-related expenses.

In addition to the funding, grantees will be paired with a Governing Board member who will monitor grantees’ progress and potentially advise on their research.

Informational Webinar Applicants are encouraged to watch the informational webinar to learn more about the AERA Grants Program and discuss the application process.

Project Dates AERA is flexible on research project start dates, depending on what is best for the applicant. The earliest date a grant may start is approximately three months following the application deadline. Alternatively, an award start date several months or more after that may be requested.

Funding Restrictions Research Grantees may not accept concurrent grant or fellowship awards from another agency, foundation, institution or the like for the same project that is funded by the AERA Grants Program. If the awardee is offered more than one major grant or fellowship for the same project for the same time period, in order to accept the AERA Grants Program Research Grant, the other award(s) must be declined.

If the applicant is employed by a contractor of NCES, NSF, other federal agency, state agency, or other entity that provides the dataset proposed for the project, the research project must not be considered part of the applicant's work responsibilities. An additional letter from the applicant's employer is required as part of the application submission, stating that the research project is separate from the applicant's job duties. This letter must be sent electronically by the deadline to [email protected] .

Evaluation Criteria Evaluation criteria include the significance of the research question, the conceptual clarity and potential contribution of the proposal, the relevance to an important STEM education policy issue, the strength of the methodological model and proposed statistical analysis, and the applicant’s relevant research and academic experience. Additionally, the review criteria include the following: What is already known on the issue? How might this project inform STEM education policy? ,How does the methodology relate specifically to the research question? Does the applicant know the data set? Does the analytic plan fit the question and the data? How does this project promote equity in STEM education and learning? Is the applicant qualified to carry out the proposed study? Reviewers will be members of the AERA Grants Program Governing Board. Due to the large volume of applications received, the AERA Grants Program is unable to provide individual feedback on unfunded proposals.

Reporting Requirements Research Grantees will be required to submit a brief (3-6 pages) progress report midway through the grant period. A final report will be submitted at the end of the grant period. The final report consists of an extended project abstract (3-6 pages) and a statement of research dissemination and communication activities and plans (1-3 pages). Also, it is expected that a research manuscript in a journal-ready format will be submitted. Grantees may produce research reports, research policy briefs, and presentations at professional meetings related to this research. Materials should be submitted electronically to [email protected] . All reporting requirements and deadlines are outlined in the award letter.

Funding Disbursement Funding will be linked to the approval of the progress report and final report. Grantees will receive one-half of the total award at the beginning of the grant period, one-quarter upon approval of the progress report, and one-quarter upon approval of the final report. Grants are awarded through the grantee’s institution. In accordance with AERA's agreement with NSF, institutions cannot charge overhead or indirect costs to administer the grant funds.

Considerations in the Development of the Proposal Applicants are strongly encouraged to read Estimating Causal Effects: Using Experimental and Observational Designs , by Barbara Schneider, Martin Carnoy, Jeremy Kilpatrick, William H. Schmidt, and Richard J. Shavelson prior to submitting a grant proposal. Selection bias is a recurring issue during the review process and should be addressed in the proposal.

Applicants should choose research topics that can be supported by the samples and variables contained in the proposed data set(s). Applicants should also be familiar with the User Guides and/or Manuals (e.g., use of design weights and design effects) of the specific data sets. Applicants should be familiar with statistical methods and available computer programs that allow for sophisticated analyses of the selected data.

Applicants should explicitly address the curricular content when it applies. Applicants are encouraged to capitalize on the capacity of large-scale data sets to examine diverse populations, including racial, ethnic, social class, and gender groups. Studies are encouraged that promote or inform diversity, equity, and inclusion for underrepresented population as well as across STEM topics. The proposed topic must have education policy relevance, and the models to be tested must include predictor variables that are manipulable (e.g., course work in mathematics, instructional practices used by teachers, parental involvement). Studies focusing on STEM education policy are strongly encouraged. Studies that model achievement test data should clearly define the achievement construct and identify the kinds of items to be used to operationalize the topic of interest. Also, when planning to use existing sub-scales, the applicant should describe why these sub-scales are appropriate and how they will be applied. Existing sub-scales provided by NCES or other agencies may not be appropriate for the proposed construct.

The Mercury Project The Mercury Project: 2023 Call for Proposals

In Fall 2021, the Social Science Research Council launched the Mercury Project , mobilizing social and behavioral scientists in a search for cost-effective and scalable solutions to build vaccination demand and healthier information environments.

With $25M in funding from The Rockefeller Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, and the National Science Foundation, the teams in the Mercury Project consortium are evaluating a portfolio of interventions in 17 countries that vary in settings, target populations, and risk/reward ratios, with the goal of identifying those interventions that most cost-effectively and scalably increase science-based health decision making.  

We are excited to announce a new call for proposals with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Mercury Project now invites proposals to evaluate the causal impacts of online or offline interventions designed to increase demand for vaccinations consistent with national priorities, including childhood vaccines, HPV, polio, measles, and Covid-19 vaccinations, in low- and lower-middle income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean.

Applicants are encouraged to consider the Mercury Project’s Research Framework in developing proposals. Preference will be given to projects that:

• evaluate the effects of interventions on behavioral outcomes, including vaccination uptake;
• evaluate interventions that are designed and delivered in collaboration with governmental, NGO, and/or corporate partners;
• have demonstrated potential to be cost-effective at scale;
• include researchers and research institutions located in the countries in which the study is being conducted.

Proposed projects may have a duration of up to 30 months. Primary applicant organizations must be tax-exempt organizations or the equivalent in the local context (e.g., nonprofit organizations, universities, governmental units). Proposed budgets should be appropriate to cover project costs, with indirect costs not exceeding 15% of direct costs. 

Proposals will undergo confidential peer review by a panel of scientific experts. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of scientific merit, potential to cost-effectively increase vaccination demand at scale, and research team inclusivity. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis; we encourage applicants to submit proposals earlier rather than later. Applications will not be accepted after May 1, 2023.

Proposal Requirements

Applicants will be asked to provide the following information through the Mercury Project application portal.

• Identities of primary applicant organization and any proposed subaward organizations, including organizations’ tax-exempt (or equivalent) status;
• Identities of principal and co-investigators, including disciplinary and institutional affiliations, links to investigator websites or CVs, and contact information for principal investigator;
• Project description, including intervention design, proposed strategy to make causal inferences (e.g., randomized controlled trial or quasi-experimental design), potential causal mechanisms, sample size and power analysis, outcomes of interest, evidence for likely cost-effectiveness at scale, project duration and timeline, discussion of ethical considerations (6 pages maximum);
• Letters of collaboration from implementing partners;
• Project budget and budget narrative, with indirect costs not exceeding 15%.

Mercury Project Research Consortium

Grantees will be expected to participate in the Mercury Project research consortium, including regular monthly virtual research team meetings, at least one in-person convening of grantees and other invited parties, and the development of research and policy briefs written for policy impact. Additional funding for these activities will be provided by the Mercury Project.

5 Innovative Open Calls for Researchers to Submit a Proposal

EUcalls is currently teeming open calls for researchers providing funding for research.

EUcalls is currently teeming open calls for researchers providing funding for research. Those who have been to university to pursue a degree, especially in higher levels like a master’s or doctorates, should be familiar with research and its associated difficulties, like funding. That, of course, depends highly on the field of study and, above all, its breakthrough research.

Whether it happens in university laboratories or business R&D, researchers need substantial financial and administrative support to carry out their experiments without interruptions. That will help them focus on the critical task at hand rather than worry about funding.

Breakthrough research is paramount to provide solutions to global challenges, but it is too risky and costly, and private investors are reluctant to invest. That is why EU funding can play an essential role in strengthening European innovation and thus increase the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

On EUcalls smart platform, you will find various open calls for researchers to fund your research endeavours. Europe spearheads research and innovation through various EU programmes like the Horizon Europe work programme 2021 . It will serve as the key funding programme for research and innovation until 2027. If you are a researcher, you should be paying close attention to Horizon Europe for open calls for researchers that come out of the Programme.

Receive EU funding for these Open Calls for Researchers

Title :  Innovative approaches to enhance poverty-related diseases research in sub-Saharan Africa

Programme : HORIZON-HLTH-2021-DISEASE-04-03

Budget : € 40,000,000

Description : The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) has established itself as the focal point of cooperation in clinical research on infectious disease between the EU and sub-Saharan Africa. To continue these investments after the last calls of the EDCTP2 Programme, there is a need to further support research on the major infectious disease threats facing sub-Saharan Africa. Despite large-scale investments in product development for poverty-related infectious diseases (PRDs), progress in achieving public health gain is slow, while sub-Saharan Africa bears the highest burden of these diseases. There is a need to support product development and to encourage the use of new, innovative approaches and emerging technologies in sub-Saharan Africa to achieve rapid progress and impact. The COVID-19 pandemic is generating novel knowledge that could also advance prevention, treatment or diagnosis of PRDs in this part of the world.

Deadline : 21/09/2021

Title :  Personalised medicine and infectious diseases: understanding the individual host response to viruses (e.g. SARS-CoV-2)

Programme : HORIZON-HLTH-2021-DISEASE-04-07

Budget : € 60,000,000

Description : Proposals are expected to characterise the host response and host-pathogen interaction to a virus (or viruses) at the level of genetic patterns, physiological mechanisms and molecular pathways involving different organs and systems to identify factors that predispose to different clinical symptoms, different progression of the viral disease and different clinical outcomes. The study should include patient follow-up to identify conditions (including long-term ones) that may appear after the patient has recovered from the viral disease.

Title :  Next-generation advanced therapies to treat highly prevalent and high burden diseases with unmet medical needs

Programme : HORIZON-HLTH-2021-TOOL-06-02

Description : The recent development of advanced therapies has been hampered by the lack of robust research on certain key parameters, e.g. safety, upscaling, immunity, potency assays, cost-effectiveness, and early on in development. This topic aims to ensure that the next wave of advanced therapies, based on either pluripotent stem cells, gene editing or RNA, are established in a timely fashion and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards for further clinical testing. It will support preclinical research platforms for disorders with high prevalence and burden that tackle the bottlenecks currently encountered in the field, ensuring that promising advanced therapies can reach the market within the next decade. Applicants should justify the disease or disorder to be targeted with its prevalence level, the related burden and unmet needs.

Title :  Innovative tools for use and re-use of health data (in particular of electronic health records and/or patient registries)

Programme : HORIZON-HLTH-2021-TOOL-06-03

Budget : € 30,000,000

Description : Health data exists in many forms and multiple fragmented repositories; there is still significant room for improvement in the way both structured and unstructured health data is stored, analysed and interpreted. Sharing and analysing data from multiple countries in a safe and legally compliant manner (in particular with regard to personal data protection) remains a challenge. Powerful analytic tools are already helping providers to use structured data in increasingly impactful ways. On the other hand, the heterogeneity, diversity of sources, quality of data and various representations of unstructured data in health care increase the number of challenges as compared to structured data.

Title :  Digital permits and compliance checks for buildings and infrastructure (IA)

Programme : HORIZON-CL4-2021-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-10

Budget : € 5,000,000

Description : There is a need to develop, connect and align new technologies and digital tools for construction, including improved and automated methods of designing, building and authorising construction works. The manual processing and delivery of administrative, legal and regulatory information such as planning and construction permits, and related compliance processes, are complicated and lengthy procedures. This leads to delays and ambiguity in the construction process, as well as errors, extra costs, waste and inefficiency.

Information generated or imported into digital models during early design phases can potentially streamline the application and granting of digital administrative permits. This will in turn facilitate informed decision-making, including compliance checks later in the design and construction process and throughout the life cycle of the built asset.

Call for Proposals Thinking Gender 2025

Thinking gender 2025, “gendered labors and transnational solidarities”, march 5–7, 2025.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Submission due date: Sunday, October 20, 2024, at 11:59 pm PDT

The UCLA Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center invites proposals for our 35th annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference (TG25).

This year’s conference theme, “ Gendered Labors and Transnational Solidarities ” highlights the rich repertoire of organizing strategies as well as contemporary and historical examples of campaigns led by precarious workers around the world. We invite proposals that employ a transnational feminist lens and that consider how workers have persisted in challenging injustice and demanding dignity by forming alliances across local, regional, and transnational contexts. We seek to bring together feminist, queer, and BIPOC scholars, artists, and organizers to reflect upon the meanings of labor solidarity and care to imagine a more livable society.

Workers have long been united in transnational solidarities. The urgency of transnational solidarities has increased in the wake of late-twentieth-century globalization, which has reshaped workers’ migration pathways, conditions of labor, and activism. Financialized capitalism has led to new labor regimes that disproportionately rely on a feminized and racialized workforce. The rise in low-paid contingent service work and outsourced manufacturing work has been accompanied by erosion of labor laws and social safety nets. Furthermore, stringent immigration regimes are exacerbating the precarity and labor exploitation of immigrant women of color and poor women in the Global South. However, these precarious workers have also been on the frontlines of labor organizing. For example, even though domestic workers have long been considered “unorganizable” because many lacked documentation status and worked in private households, domestic workers’ leadership has been central to expanding labor rights at both national and inter-governmental levels. In 2011, their efforts led to International Labour Organization Convention 189, the first global treaty establishing labor standards for domestic workers. In addition to demanding dignity on the job, precarious workers have also organized for social justice more broadly. Recently, Hyundai construction workers in South Korea began striking in solidarity with Palestinian people, calling attention to the connections between labor, settler colonialism, war, and ongoing effects of empire. Workers have also addressed injustices based on race, sex, sexuality, and citizenship status across local, regional, and international scales.  We invite works that examine labor organizing through a transnational feminist lens, centering innovative strategies and campaigns workers have been building to forge solidarities across different parts of the world.

Possible questions for engagement include:

• How does a transnational feminist lens apply to labor organizing? How do categories such as race, class, gender, sexuality, nation, dis/ability and citizenship status, among others, affect how labor is defined and how workers organize?
• How have histories and ongoing struggles around settler colonialism, war, slavery, and unequal economic development shaped labor movements?
• How have workers who have been historically excluded from labor protections – such as workers in factories/sweatshops, households, and agriculture, and now most recently in gig work – organized transnationally? What is the significance of the scale of their organizing efforts?
• What is the role have unions played in transnational labor feminisms? What other alternative strategies have women workers and other precarious workers employed to organize?
• What possibilities and challenges have precarious workers found in international organizations, institutions, and laws?
• What are the relationships between family and work? How do family relationships shape labor migration as well as precarity workers face? How do workers navigate the often gender-specific burdens of financially supporting the family? How have workers formed alternative communities/kinship networks of support?
• What are the political implications of defining care? What are some examples of caring activities that go into organizing?
• How do caregivers, consisting mostly of workers experiencing precarity because of gender, immigration status, race and ethnicity etc., also receive care?
• What are some ways in which society as a whole can reciprocate the labor of care that is already foundational to the survival and well-being of community members around the world?
• How can researchers amplify workers’ own voices and stories rather than imposing top-down solutions? What are some examples of research centering workers?
• How do workers build solidarities with one another? How do they integrate the concepts of mutual aid and care?

We encourage applicants to think within, alongside, beyond, and perhaps against the following topics as they consider the shape and content of their prospective participation in TG25:

• Historical and contemporary forms of social movements
• Queer and LGBTQIA organizing
• Maquiladora activism in the US/Mexico border
• Law and protection
• Anti-sweatshop movements
• Local, regional, and global practices of activism and organizing
• Transfer of economies, objects, and people
• Local, regional and global development projects
• Community building
• Kinship and family
• Affective economies and labor
• Immigration and citizenship
• Care and social reproduction
• Settler colonialism, war, and dispossession
• Environmental degradation
• Critical refugee studies
• Migration and gender
• Cultural productions and performance
• Disability and curative violence
• Aging and care homes
• Embodied practices of healing

Graduate students have two ways to participate in this conference:

1. Hybrid workshops for works-in-progress on Wednesday, March 5, 2025 

Participants will workshop works-in-progress in closed online sessions either via Zoom or in person at the UCLA campus on Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Each workshop will include up to four graduate students, a faculty moderator, and up to three observers from other workshops, who will read and provide detailed feedback and questions for each submission. All participants will be asked to read or view each other’s submissions in advance. Participants will then convene with a faculty moderator who will offer constructive feedback and facilitate discussion around each submission.

All workshop participants will be required to submit the final version of their work-in-progress (not to exceed 20–25 double-spaced pages) by Sunday, February 2, 2025, for pre-circulation among their co-participants and faculty moderator. Please only submit your work for a workshop if you are prepared to have a final draft ready for circulation by this date. 

2. In-person presentations on Friday, March 7, 2025

Participants who submit a proposal for work that will be completed a month before the conference date will give a public presentation of their finished projects at a panel on the UCLA campus on Friday, March 7, 2025. In addition, participants will take advantage of other in-person activities offered at the conference.

We welcome a range of submission formats from graduate students , including scholarly papers, works in hybrid critical/creative genres (e.g., multimedia projects, performance, experimental forms of academic writing), and film/mixed media. In celebration of embodied practices of healing led by workers’ organizations, worker-centered artwork would fit particularly well for this year’s call.

Ideas for Developing Asia and the Pacific

Call for research proposals from early career researchers – pacific development research partnership, share this page.

Asian Development Bank Institute and Development Policy Centre, Australian National University

Many economies in the Pacific face continued high levels of poverty and informality, stagnant or resource-dependent growth, and severe exposure to climate change. Relative to other regions, the Pacific also has less quantitative evidence to guide policy, a challenge compounded by data deprivation and the limited number of researchers producing high-quality development research on the Pacific. The potential for greater in-depth, policy-relevant development research in the Pacific is high.

The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) and the Australian National University’s Development Policy Centre (Devpol) will start a new Pacific Development Research Partnership initiative in 2022 focusing on the broad topics of (i) human capital and development; (ii) agricultural markets and technology; and (iii) livelihoods and employment, including migration and remittances. The country focus will be on Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Tonga, which together account for more than 80 percent of the Pacific’s population.

As part of the initiative, ADBI and Devpol are looking for research proposals from early career economists (those in the final year of a PhD in economics or up to five years post-PhD in economics) to conduct microeconomic development research in the Pacific.

Proposals should address one of the following questions:

• Are Pacific children learning at sufficient levels?
• Are Pacific children nutritionally secure?
• Do Pacific children have access to safe water, adequate sanitation facilities, and hygienic living conditions?
• What is the food security situation in the Pacific and how can it be improved?
• What agricultural technology is used by Pacific farmers?
• What is the level of agricultural productivity in the Pacific and how can it be lifted?
• How integrated are value chains in the Pacific and how can market access be improved?
• What is the impact of shocks (climate, economic, social, and political) on human capital, agriculture, and livelihoods, and what policies and programs can reduce such impacts?
• What are the linkages between employment, livelihoods, and the human capital outcomes of children?

Policy and program evaluations related to the above questions and using quasi-experimental research designs are highly welcome. Descriptive studies are also welcome.

This call for proposals is limited to economists whose research focus is on the microeconomics of development, who are experienced in using microeconometric methods (including quasi-experimental methods), and who are experienced in using microdata (e.g., household-level, individual-level, firm-level, or farm-level datasets).

Submission Procedure

This call for research proposals is open to citizens of Asian Development Bank member economies only. Interested researchers should submit a brief CV and research proposal that includes the following components:

• Biography and statement of research (maximum 300 words);
• The specific research question(s) to be addressed and country of focus. Research that focuses on evaluating the impact of specific policies and interventions is of particular interest. A short literature review of relevant studies should be included (maximum 1 page);
• Empirical methodology, covering the data to be used. Key variables, dependent and explanatory, should be specified. If the research asks a causal question, state the quasi-experimental method(s) and identification assumptions (maximum 1 page).

The maximum length of research proposal submissions will be strictly enforced. It is not necessary to submit a budget proposal.

Researchers should submit their CV and research proposal using this  link by 18 March 2022 at 17:00 Tokyo time.

Arrangements for Selected Proposals

Up to ten research proposals will be selected. Notifications are expected to be sent in April 2022.

An honorarium of $5,000 will be paid to authors of selected proposals upon addressing the following requirements:

• Present initial research results during a related conference in the third quarter of 2022
• Submit a full draft manuscript of no more than 8,000 words, excluding annexes, by October 2022
• Submit a revised final manuscript based on feedback from reviewers by early 2023
