The Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE) announces a small research grants competition for African scholars and/or activists based in Africa. The competition is based on the premise that a shortage of funding for critical research is one of the problems faced by Africa-based scholars and activists wishing to carry forward a political economy agenda. In response to this, ROAPE is offering up to two small research grants (value £3000).
WORTH
- The grant is £3,000 and will be paid in three tranches. Upon acceptance of a research proposal, ROAPE will disburse 1/3 of the grant (£1,000) to successful candidates to contribute towards direct research expenses. The second tranche (£1,000) will be paid after submission of the first-year report.
ELIGIBILITY
- Applicants should be nationals of an African country and residents in an African country.
- Applicants who are based in or studying outside Africa will not be considered.
- Priority will be given to younger scholars and activists who are not yet established and who do not have alternative source of funding for primary research.
- Joint applications (by two candidates or more) meeting these criteria will also be considered.
DEADLINE: March 15 2020
