The Arizona Institutes for Resilience (AIR) International Programs announces a seed grant to develop concept papers on research topics of central importance for development challenges. I believe these topics will align with your expertise and interests. Please feel free to share this opportunity with others.
The awards will provide $7,500 that can be used for supplemental compensation (if eligible). We are supporting up to four teams of two or more individuals from the University of Arizona.
1-2 page proposals for the concept papers are due May 24. Grants will be awarded on June 1.
The concept papers will articulate new and innovative ideas that can inform international research projects on resilience as it is applied in development. The topics we seek fresh ideas on include the following:
1. The multi-stressors and compound risks of COVID-19, conflict, and climate
2. Disaster risk reduction and recovery
3. Migration in the context of multiple social and environmental shocks and stresses
4. Climate resilient development
5. Power and resilience in international development
6. Equity, diversity, and inclusion in international development
7. Technologies for resilience
