Grants and awards in economics, policy, and the social sciences on themes related to agriculture, energy, environment, climate change, and water

Principal Office: International

The Global Development Network (GDN) makes grants and awards for research in economics, public policy, and other social sciences. Thematic areas in the GDN include agriculture and environment – among many others.

GDN’s premise is that good policy research, when properly applied, can accelerate development and improve people’s lives.

Grant Programs for Agriculture, Energy, Environment, Natural Resources

The GDN supports work in economics, public policy, and other social sciences cutting across the “green sector”, or addressing specific topics within it.

1 — Global Development Awards Competition. Themes for the awards differ from year to year. The awards are open to citizens and permanent residents of developing and transition countries.

About the Global Development Awards Competition

APPLICATION: Each year, GDN invites applications for its global development awards competition. Grant makers consult GDN’s announcements for details on themes and calendar deadlines.

2 — Global Research. Global research involves case studies in different countries on a common theme, and operates via networking among researchers from different countries. Most research projects are for multiple years, and most are funded by major donor organizations. Each research project is unique in terms of who is eligible to participate. The size of grants is highly variable.
