Description
1) Objective
The Japanese Award for Outstanding Research on Development is a competitive research grant program under the Global Development Awards Competition 2020. This year, three winning projects on the topic, ‘Unpacking the health-environment-economic wellbeing nexus’ will receive grants worth US$ 45,000. Finalists will be invited to join a communications training in preparation of a pitch of their project in front of a high-level Jury, which will decide which research proposal to award. A physical Award ceremony might be held in 2021, if conditions allow it, but projects are expected to start on 15 Jan 2021. The awards will be given to the organization(s) or researcher(s) whose proposals hold the greatest promise for improving our understanding of development issues and puts forth clear, articulate and well-researched policy implications to address relevant development problems.
In all cases, proposals should demonstrate the potential of the research project to generate critical insight for the design of policy processes, the political economy of decision-making, the role of evidence in policy debates and decision, and policy evaluation. Proposals should discuss the proposed research question and methodology not only in light of their academic relevance, but also in light of their potential to
contribute to stronger public debate and action in the future.
