Dear Colleagues, This is a reminder that the OGP's call for research proposals closes next week. Don't forget to send in your proposals by *5th August*. Details on areas of research, grants and how to apply are provided below and attached. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. Best wishes, Shreya *Shreya Basu*Regional Civil Society Coordinator for Asia *Open Government Partnership Support Unit* e-mail: [email protected] | skype: basushreya | phone: +65 9023 0656 | twitter: @basushreya10 | www.ogphub.org | www.opengovpartnership.org | *Please note that emails exchanged with the OGP Support Unit may be subject to the OGP disclosure policy, which is available here <http://www.opengovpartnership.org/sites/default/files/attachments/Draft_OGP_Information_Disclosure_Policy.pdf>.* The Open Government Partnership Support Unit is inviting research proposals on the commitments made by participating countries in theirNational Action Plans. <http://www.opengovpartnership.org/how-it-works/action-plans> A total of six grants of EUR 2500 each will be awarded and the lead authors of the three best papers will be invited to present their work at the 2015 OGP Global Summit in Mexico. This research is supported by a grant of the International Development Research Centre <http://www.idrc.ca/EN/Pages/default.aspx> (IDRC) Canada. *Areas of research* With 65 participating countries and over 2000 commitments made in the OGP National Action Plans (NAPs), there is a wealth of information that needs to be further analyzed to understand trends across countries or themes and identify opportunities to deepen and inform the work of OGP and its participating countries. All ideas are welcome as long as the proposed topic has the potential to inform the work of the Open Government Partnership and the findings can be used for further research, action or advocacy. This is an opportunity for researchers to explore projects on OGP beyond areas that have been covered previously by others. Proposals are being requested in two broad categories: (A) Research that makes use of existing OGP data, including the NAPs, IRM <http://www.opengovpartnership.org/independent-reporting-mechanism> data and the OGP Explorer <http://www.opengovpartnership.org/explorer/landing> for cross-thematic or cross country analysis. Data visualizations are encouraged. (B) Preliminary research to help OGP understand its impact in participating countries. Proposals that present a framework and concrete example of how OGP can capture its contribution both at the country and at the initiative levels are encouraged. *Please see the detailed RFP document <http://www.opengovpartnership.org/sites/default/files/attachments/Invitation%20for%20research%20proposals%20on%20OGP.pdf>for suggested topics under each category, grant details and information on the selection criteria, application process and timelines.* Note that the deadline for submitting proposals is *5pm GMT on or before 5th August 2015.* Any questions can be sent to [email protected] Please help us spread the word by circulating this message to your colleagues and networks for whom this may be of interest.
