What the grant funds

The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) announces an open competition for implementation of the IAF Research Fellowship Program (“Fellowship Program”) under a single cooperative agreement. The Fellowship Program will advance rigorous field research on actionable questions about grassroots-based development. Through the Fellowship Program, the IAF aims to generate a pipeline of well-grounded evidence to further strengthen IAF’s programming, identify possibilities for scale or replication, and contribute to the field of community-led development. Pending the availability of funds, the Inter-American Foundation will enter into a cooperative agreement with an organization (“Award Recipient”) to administer the IAF Research Fellowship Program (“Fellowship Program”), for a five-year period spanning FY23-FY28. The cooperative agreement will provide funding for up to 10 new awards each FY, starting in FY24, to individuals with the expertise, skills, and creativity to answer pressing questions defined by the IAF and, in some cases, by the applicants themselves. Applicants may be graduate students (at any level, across all fields, including MBAs), researchers, grant participants (current or former), or other practitioners, and citizens of the U.S. or any country in which the IAF works. Applicants may also be from universities, think-tanks, and other organizations that are interested in co-funding and other arrangements that may entail additional transactions for the Award Recipient. Proposals should be submitted to proposals+fellowships@iaf.gov by the date specified in the NOFO. The subject line of the email should include the text “IAF Research Fellowship Program.” Please see the full announcement for additional information.
