The Institute for the Study of Labour (IZA) and the Department for International Development (DFID) have a joint project called IZA/DFID Growth Labour Markets in Low Income Countries Programme (GLM-LIC) through which it has opened the second phase of their call for research proposals.
This GLM-LIC Phase II Call for Proposals includes five research areas:
- Growth and labour market outcomes
- Active labour markets policies
- Labour market institutions
- Migration
- Gender
Promising research projects will be selected for funding with the overall objective of delivering a significant new body of evidence on growth and labour markets that will help shape policies in LICs.
The programme aims at including theoretical work as well as applied macro- and microeconomic studies. Though the focus will be on quantitative research, qualitative research and case studies, or combinations of those, are eligible for funding as well.
The GLM- LIC programme has a total budget of €10.07 million (£8.9 million) to be allocated to research. It is foreseen that up to 30 grants will be awarded for research projects of various sizes of institutions around the globe
The deadline to submit applications is 28 November 2012. For more information, visit this link.
