We are especially looking for research that: * Has a clear research question which is academically relevant and adds to the existing academic knowledge on the topic of investigation * Is policy relevant and leads to policy lessons that are of interest to an international audience Note: We encourage proposals for policy relevant interdisciplinary research on the intersection of Economics with other disciplines, such as Political Science, Sociology, Demography, Geography and Ecology. We also encourage proposals that are based on comparative research spanning the CEE and CIS or research teams combing CIS and CEE researchers. Award: The best research teams will be invited to present their projects at either the EERC Research Workshop on June 27-29, 2009 in Kiev or the CERGE-EI workshop in Prague on August 9-10, 2009. Representatives of projects must attend the workshop in order to be considered for a grant. Grants up to $18,000 will be awarded to individual researchers or small research teams (up to 3 persons) for up to 12 months beginning in January 2010 (with the possibility of a 6 month no cost extension). Grant size will depend on the specific budget requirements of the project. We plan to select approximately 8 research proposals. To apply: Proposals must include the following seven components: 1. A cover sheet clearly specifying the project title, names of principal researchers, mailing address and e-mail contact addresses (very important, as e-mail will be used for follow-up requests and questions). 2.

A research proposal of no more than 10 doubled-spaced pages showing sufficient familiarity with the topic and methodology to provide confidence in the project's successful completion. 4. A bibliography of relevant literature. 5. CVs of all principal researchers. 6. A budget in USD showing expenses in all categories. While the categories will vary from grant to grant, they should, where applicable, include as a minimum: Salaries and other compensation for the grantee(s) (including payroll taxes and fringe benefits); Salaries and other compensation for research assistants and clerical personnel (including payroll taxes and fringe benefits); English Editing Fees; Grant-related travel (for research purposes - no conference travel will be granted); Equipment and/or data/software Purchases; Materials, supplies, telecommunications charges; Institutional Overhead (limited to a MAXIMUM of 10%). 7.
