Eligibility Criteria
Only individuals can apply for a PEDL Exploratory Grant.
PEDL Exploratory Grants will be issued through a contract between CEPR and the successful applicant directly. In exceptional circumstances, a contract with an institution can be issued, but the contract will be non-negotiable, and the institution cannot take any overheads. This applies also to Doctoral students.
You may apply as a team, but only one researcher should submit the proposal as the epresentative of the team. That individual will be the named individual on the contract and will be responsible for the project implementation, should it be successful.
