Early Grant Information for NGOs
UNU-WIDER invites qualified researchers for papers examining the politics and experiences of reform to address ethnic inequality that include focused analysis of one or more government policies, programmes, or other reform efforts to address ethnic inequality. Interested applicants should note that proposals on other related topics — including impact evaluations and other analyses whose primary focus is to assess the impact of a given policy — are outside the scope of this request.
The aim is that papers invited under this request will contribute to a body of work providing in-depth examination of experiences of reform in addressing ethnic inequalities, contributing to their work under this research stream. Papers of sufficient quality will be published in the WIDER Working paper series, and some may be invited to participate in an edited book volume and/or a journal special issue.
