ESRC-DFID Joint fund for poverty alleviation research 2013 Research Programme call 2013
Activities:
Others ESRC-DFID Joint fund for poverty alleviation research 2013 Research programme call 2013 The Economic and Social Research Council(ESRC) and the Department for International Development (DFID) are pleased to announce a call for three large and exciting Research Programmes of work under Phase 3 of the ESRC-DFID Joint Fund for Poverty Alleviation Research. Both funders are committed to commissioning world class research and ensuring the results are available for policy makers and development workers worldwide. The aim is to provide funding for new research on critical but relatively under-researched themes. The Research Programmes will undertake work in three areas: Funding is available for one Research Programme of work of up to £2 million under this stream. Researchers are invited to develop research programme proposals which will examine the specific barriers to inclusion facing disabled people in low income country settings. The key research question is “What are the specific barriers to inclusion facing disabled children and adults in accessing health, education, social protection and labour market services, and how can these barriers be overcome in sustainable and cost-effective ways?” Funding is available for one Research Programme of work of up to £2 million under this stream. Researchers are invited to develop research programme proposals which will examine how urban spaces are changing and what the emerging challenges for tackling urban poverty reduction are. This will include an understanding of towns and peri-urban areas, and work on new interventions that can tackle urban poverty at scale in low income countries. Funding is available for one Research Programme of work up to £3.3 million to address evidence gaps around urbanisation and risk in an African context. Researchers applying under this stream are invited to develop research programme proposals which will map and measure the different dimensions of risk in urban Africa and produce policy-relevant evidence that can inform efforts by national, regional and municipal/city governments, multilateral agencies, NGOs and humanitarian donors to build urban resilience and manage risk and uncertainty. The budget limits specified above refer to the ESRC/DFID contribution to the Research Programme, the ‘ESRC contribution’ on the JeS application, not to the total fEC funding requested. Applications with an ‘ESRC contribution’ cost above the maximum limits set out above will be rejected. Please see the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ document below for further information. Applications are sought from across the social sciences and interdisciplinary research, both within and beyond the social sciences, is welcomed. However, applicants should note that it is a requirement of this call that all Research Programme applications must be a minimum of 50 per cent social science. Applicants must ensure the proposed research will be carried out to a high ethical standard and must ensure that any potential ethical issues have been considered and explain how these will be addressed. The ESRCs Framework for Research Ethics contains a full explanation of our approach and includes guidance for applicants. The full specification document and other relevant documents can be found below. Please read all these documents carefully before completing a Research Programme application. Deadline for applications: 16.00 UK time, 10 September 2013 Important reminder: Any UK and non-UK applicant(s) and their institutions intending to apply to this call must ensure they are registered with the Joint Electronic Submission System (Je-S). It is essential to allow sufficient time to secure JeS registration - we strongly recommend that applicants register with Je-S at least four weeks prior to the call deadline, as no exceptions can be made for late submission of applications. Institutions that are not already recognised for Research Council Funding (primarily non-UK research organisations) should consult the document ‘RCUK recognition’ above.
