Call for Proposals
Population, Reproductive Health, and Economic Development
“PopDev”
The impacts of reproductive health and population dynamics
on poverty and economic growth.
Deadline for the
submission of full proposals: June 30, 2012 at 5 p.m. (EDT).
The application form will
be the same as the form used for the pre-proposal stage but will require more
detail on data and methodology, roles and responsibilities of project
researchers, a budget justification, and modifications based on the outcome of
the proposal preparation workshop.
This call is a joint initiative of the Economic and Social
Research Council (ESRC, UK), NWO-WOTRO Science for Global Development (the
Netherlands, NL), the Research Council of Norway (RCN) and the Population
Reference Bureau (PRB, USA) in collaboration with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
(Hewlett, USA).
The call is a follow-up to previous
calls of the joint schemes that NWO-WOTRO, ESRC and RCN have developed
separately and co-funded with the Hewlett Foundation.
The current call
focuses on:
-
The impact of reproductive health on women’s
economic empowerment, particularly as measured by economic outcomes at the
household and individual levels.
- Relationships between reproductive
health/family planning (including population policies and dynamics) and
macroeconomic outcomes in countries.
