Research Grantees

First and second rounds of research grants

In the 1st and 2nd rounds (which closed in January and November 2009), the Facility received more than 140 proposals for studies to be conducted in 30 developing countries. Since we were only able to award grants to a small percentage of those who applied, the competition was fierce, leaving several interesting proposals unfunded. Those selected were focused research projects that responded to specific questions of the Facility's learning agenda.
