This opportunity does not have a specified deadline.
The Stanford King Center on Global Development is a Stanford University research center working to improve the lives of the world’s poor. We stimulate and support research, inspire students, and collaborate with thought leaders and influencers to make a real-world impact.
The center invites proposals from Stanford faculty for capacity-building and policy-engagement activities that support academics, government officials, or other policymakers in low- and middle-income countries. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis.
RFP scope
Proposals may request up to $10,000 in support of a variety of activities, such as:
Collaborative work with policy or practice partners external to Stanford or at Stanford
Dissemination of materials to policymakers, e.g., production of materials or workshop with local counterparts
In-country, capacity-building workshops at local universities or government ministries
Proposals may be for incremental costs associated with adding a capacity-building or policy-engagement component to an existing research trip or project, or for a free-standing activity.
Eligibility:
The primary Principal Investigators (PIs) must be Stanford faculty members and members of the academic council.
Requirements:
Proposal Submission, Review, and Award Process
In the proposal, please include:
A brief explanation of the academic and policy context of the proposed activity
A statement of significance of the proposed activity
Details regarding the expected audience for the activity
A description of the role played by each faculty member involved
A budget (including any available co-financing and whether the additional funding has been secured or is being sought); please note that due to center policy, no honorariums can be paid from center funds
An indication of your willingness to produce a one page ‘press release’ on the activity for the center’s website
The proposal is subject to a two-page limit with fonts no smaller than 11 point.
The budget and budget justification are limited to one additional page.
Each faculty organizer should also submit a CV.
Please note that the primary applicants must be Stanford faculty members.
Proposals should be submitted via email to kingcenter@stanford.edu. Proposals must be self contained with no links to additional information.
Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis by a small committee appointed by the center’s Faculty Steering Committee. Committee members who submit a proposal will recuse themselves from discussions of their own submissions.
It is anticipated that funding decisions based on this solicitation will be announced within two weeks of proposal submission.
