Deadline- January 11th 2013
Research on Poverty Alleviation(REPOA) is offering research grants for Capacity Development to develop a vibrant community of beginning and intermediate researchers capable of undertaking research that is credible and relevant to development challenges, with special attention to policy development issues.
REPOA’s mandate is to build the capacity of research in Tanzania and we want to help researchers improve their skills in writing proposals for research. Over the years we have observed that there is a very strong link between the quality of a proposal and the ensuing research project. A well thought out proposal where the author expresses their self clearly and logically should result in a well planned research project and a report that is both informative and a pleasure to read.
Focus Fields–
Research proposals are invited on one of the following themes relating to poverty analysis and poverty reduction within REPOA’s broad research agenda-
- Growth and Development
- Social Protection
- Governance
- Gender, Technology and Environment are cross-cutting in all the three themes
Eligibility-
- Grants are open to young and intermediate researchers based at institutions in Tanzania that can demonstrate how the grant will add value to what they are already doing
- Applicants should have obtained a Research Degree (Master’s based on research, M.Phil) or PhD with not more than five years of post PhD experience
- Applicants are expected to hold demonstrable writing skills and expertise relevant to the research theme.
