Indirect Financial Grant ranges from USD 200 to USD 600. Generally, this type of grant is sanctioned to a local/national group of researchers. The interested researchers/contributors can form a research team and can apply to the Executive Director at [email protected] when the research proposals are invited by the INSTITUTE.

The Institute encourages faculty, independent researchers and PhD students to conduct high quality, policy-relevant research issues. To do so, it provides seed and start-up funding for new projects, helps identify other funding sources for that research, helps scholars connect with local officials and leaders who can help scholars with their projects, and works with scholars to disseminate their findings to practitioners in timely and accessible ways.

The final findings of the research projects are published in the Institute’s journals.
