NOTE: We encourage proposals for policy relevant research ON THE BORDER OFECONOMICS AND OTHER DISCIPLINES, such as political science, sociology,demography, geography and ecology.

The best research teams will be invited to present their projects at the EERC RESEARCH WORKSHOP in July 2007 in Kiev (tentatively planned for July 6-9). Heads of projects must attend the workshop in order to be considered for a grant.

GRANTS up to $14,000 are awarded to individual researchers or small research teams (up to 3 persons) for up to 18 months. Grant size depends on the number participants and specific budget requirements of the project.

Additionally, young researchers and researchers based in the periphery whose projects show promise may be awarded development grants (up to $2,000) and training opportunities in the framework of EERC's Research Development Program. In addition to a small stipend, and literature and data allowance, these grants may be coupled with an opportunity to take courses and receive guidance at the following institutions:

New Economic School (NES, Moscow, http://www.nes.ru/ <http://www.nes.ru/>) or the Center for Economic and Financial Research (CEFIR, Moscow, http://www.cefir.ru/ <http://www.cefir.ru/> ), Kiev School of Economics (KSE, Kiev, http://www.eerc.kiev.ua/ <http://www.eerc.kiev.ua/> ) and the Economics Research and Outreach center (EROC) for Ukrainian, Belarusian and Moldovan scholars.

Upon completion of research, authors of the best papers may be offeredfollow-on grants to develop policy briefs for presentation and discussion at policy roundtable meetings organized by the EERC.

Funding for a subset of projects originating in Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova will be provided jointly with the Economics Research and Outreach Center (EROC) at KSE.
