Second Call for Proposals PopDev

20 December 2011

On 20 December a call for proposals was launched for the research programme Population, Reproductive Health and Economic Development (“PopDev”). PopDev aims to contribute to knowledge about the effects of population dynamics and reproductive health on different aspects of economic and social development. Proposals should focus on one of two themes:

1. The impact of reproductive health on women’s economic empowerment, or
2. Relationships between reproductive health and family planning on the one hand and macroeconomic outcomes in countries on the other.

A budget of approximately €2,2 million is available for up to eight research programmes in total. Proposals must be submitted by international teams. The deadline for submission is 15 March 2012. The current PopDev call is a joint initiative of NWO-WOTRO (NL), the Economic & Social Research Council (UK), the Population Reference Bureau (PRB, USA) and the Research Council of Norway. The call will be managed by PRB and applications should thus be made to PRB.
