ESRC-DFID Joint Scheme for Research in International Development (Poverty Alleviation), 2012 UK

ESRC and DFID are pleased to welcome applications to review and synthesise the research that has been funded under the ESRC-DFID Joint Scheme for Research on International Development (Poverty Alleviation) on the themes of:

• social protection - www.esrc.ac.uk/ESRA

• food security - www.foodsecurity.ac.uk/.

It is intended that each synthesis will outline the knowledge generated on these topics through ESRC-DFID Scheme-funded research, highlight which methodologies have been used to produce this knowledge, identify any key gaps in knowledge not covered by joint ESRC-DFID funded research and any potential or actual impacts documented.

Applications can be made for up to £10,000 for each synthesis. As Research Awards, these studies may be exempt from VAT, however, it is the supplier’s legal responsibility to apply the correct VAT treatment. The addition of VAT will be excluded from any value for money assessment.
