USAID is offering the Economic Research Partnership Grant to support applied research aligned with its economic growth priorities. This grant is for funding proposals focused on key areas such as Enabling Environments, Fiscal Policy, Trade and Investment Capacity, and the implications of international and domestic macroeconomic policies on growth and poverty reduction in low-income countries. Priority will be given to proposals adopting a cross-country approach. Applicants are encouraged to integrate other USAID initiatives, like Feed the Future, Global Climate Change, or Gender, demonstrating broader societal impact. All research must be applied, not theoretical, and directly address USAID’s economic growth objectives. While primarily targeting countries with USAID field missions, broad multi-country research, including those without missions, will also be considered.

Research proposals must focus on economic growth topics in the areas of Enabling Environments, Fiscal Policy, Trade and Investment Capacity, the Implications of International and Domestic Macroeconomic Policies and Trends on Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction in Low-income Countries, and Project/Policy Analysis. Priority will be given to proposals that take a cross-country approach.While all proposals must have an economic problem as its main focus, proposals are encouraged that also touch on other Agency priorities. For example, a proposal might look at the economic topics that impact farmers, the environment, or women and thereby touch on initiatives such as Feed the Future, Global Climate Change and Gender, respectively. All research must be applied rather than theoretical, and research must be on topics that focus on USAID economic growth priorities. In general, this research should be related to countries where USAID has field Missions and should fit within the strategic objectives of these missions and/or the appropriate Washington Operating Unit (WOU).
