Grant Description: USAID is looking to support research in economic development that is in line with Agency priorities in economic growth. Research proposals must focus on economic growth topics in the areas of Enabling Environments, Fiscal Policy, Trade and Investment Capacity, the Implications of International and Domestic Macroeconomic Policies and Trends on Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction in Low-income Countries, and Project/Policy Analysis. Priority will be given to proposals that take a cross-country approach. While all proposals must have an economic problem as its main focus, proposals are encouraged that also touch on other Agency priorities. For example, a proposal might look at the economic topics that impact farmers, the environment, or women and thereby touch on initiatives such as Feed the Future, Global Climate Change and Gender, respectively. All research must be applied rather than theoretical, and research must be on topics that focus on USAID economic growth priorities. In general, this research should be related to countries where USAID has field Missions and should fit within the strategic objectives of these missions and/or the appropriate Washington Operating Unit (WOU). However, broad, multi-country research activities that include some countries where USAID does not have a field mission will also be considered.
