DFID-ESRC call for proposals on raising learning outcomes in challenging contexts
ESRC and DFID are pleased to announce the second annual call under a joint programme funding world class cutting edge social science research that addresses key questions on learning outcomes within education systems in developing countries. The 2015 call in the ESRC-DFID Raising Learning Outcomes in Education Systems Research Programme is focused on the theme of 'Challenging Contexts' - where education systems face particular challenges, what enables and/or inhibits the raising of learning outcomes? The specific contexts of focus are:
- Remote rural
- Urban slums
- Border cities
A total of up to £6.5 million is being made available for research projects under this call. Proposals are invited for projects with a Full Economic Cost (fEC) value of between £200,000 and £700,000 and from one year up to a maximum of four years in duration. There are no geographic restrictions on who may apply for this funding opportunity, and proposals are sought from across the social sciences. The deadline for proposals is 16.00 (GMT) on 14 May 2015.
