Event: Research on Interventions to advance Women in Economics in the Global South
Submission Deadline: June 30, 2023
Description: We are calling for well-defined research proposals that will generate evidence on “what works” i.e., what interventions are effective and successful in lowering the gender gap in economics. The evidence can be obtained, for example, by piloting trials of new interventions or analyzing the impact of existing policies. We hope that even a few successful studies can help alter professional practices through the power of concrete examples and models. We will prioritize research proposals that focus on any of these seven countries: Argentina, Colombia, Ghana, India, Mexico, Senegal, and South Africa. However, we are open to proposals from other developing countries as well.
Eligibility: Please submit a proposal of up to 1,500 words with a clear action plan of research over 24-36 months along with a CV. The budget depends on the nature of the proposal but will be in the range of USD 15,000 to 25,000 over two years. We are not looking for literature reviews. Please submit a fleshed-out proposal containing the following components: research question (i.e. hypothesis to be tested), identification strategy, data collection and estimation methodology.
