About the Organization

We are ICIMOD, a unique intergovernmental institution leading the global effort to protect the pulse of the planet - the HKH - and the people, resources and culture that define it.

About the Grant

SANDEE invites concept notes in the areas of environmental and resource economics relating to the development of South Asia and the HKH region.

Research grants are provided for conducting research on topics related to economics and the environment in South Asia and the HKH region. Multi-disciplinary projects with a robust economic focus are encouraged. Cross-border collaborations and trans-boundary projects are prioritized.

We seek concept notes related to themes linked to areas of work within ICIMOD’s strategic groups:

• Economics of reducing climate and environmental risks
• Resilient mountain economies and landscapes
• Economics of global mechanisms and policies

Grant size and duration

Grants are likely to be in the range of USD 20,000–30,000 over a two-year period. The upper limit grants are aimed for the multidisciplinary teams involving two or more countries in the region or focus on a transboundary issue that requires an interdisciplinary team.

Eligibility

• Researchers from and working in South Asia and the HKH region are eligible to submit concept notes.
• Women researchers from the South Asia and HKH region are encouraged to apply.
• To avoid conflict of interest, researchers whose relatives are working at ICIMOD and current consultants are not eligible for receiving the research grant.
• Principal investigators (PIs) must be junior to mid-career professionals employed by a university, research institute, or other similar institutions in the region, including government agencies and non-profit organisations. Senior researchers (professors, directors, and other similar level/positions) are not eligible for the research support/grant.
• Institutional affiliation of the PI is mandatory for receiving research support. While submitting a full proposal (not needed for concept notes), a support letter from the institution where the PI is affiliated is required for further consideration.
• Due diligence of the grant hosting institutions will also be conducted before awarding the research grants.
