Exploratory Research Grants: 20th Call for ERG Proposals

Exploratory Research Grants

 Deadline: July 30, 2015
The 20th Round of the Exploratory Research Grants under the PEDL initiative is now open. Proposals for the 19th call must be submitted by 5pm GMT on July 30, 2015.

PEDL will support approaches that promise to produce credible research results that will be useful for policy-making. It will promote research related to private enterprises of all sizes and will initially focus on four research themes:
  • Modelling market frictions in LICs using newly available data
  • Understanding how constraints interact using micro-founded macro models
  • The dynamics of SMEs: Informality and entrepreneurship
  • The role of export-oriented industries in driving growth
Proposals that address the following cross-cutting issues will be encouraged.
  • Fragile and conflict affected states
  • Gender
  • Climate, environment and social compliance
Exploratory Grants are research grants of between £10,000 and £35,000 that are designed to allow researchers to:
  • explore new approaches to the study of firms in low-income-countries (LICs); and
  • to develop new (or build on) existing sources of data on firms in LICs.
