Priority Theme Small Grants Fund
Overview
In line with EGAP’s new Priority Themes, in July 2021, EGAP launched a RFP for small grants on one of the priority themes: (1) urban violence and policing, (2) climate justice, and (3) polarization and democracy to support Global South-based researchers in partnership with the EGAP network pursuing new insights.
EGAP awarded 6 grants of up to $15,000 to teams led by principal investigators from the Global South. Two grants for studies that fit each of the above three topics were awarded. A critical feature of the grant was that it sought to fund quantitative research (e.g., surveys, field experiments, or large-N analysis of administrative data) in the Global South that could lead to an accumulated understanding of promising governance innovations in each of these areas of study.
