Call for Research Concept notes
Economics of Natural Resource Use and Environmental Change
Deadline 31st October 2012
The South Asian Network for Development and Environmental Economics (SANDEE) is a regional network that provides research support to South Asian researchers and institutions interested in the inter-connection among development, natural resource use and the environment. SANDEE is currently inviting research concept notes on the Economics of Natural Resource Use and Environmental Change in South Asia. Concept notes, if accepted, will lead to an invitation to submit a full research proposal. SANDEE requests research concept notes in three prioritized areas: Ecosystems Management: Ecosystems provide a variety of provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural services that are being lost at an accelerating rate. Research on ecosystems management will focus on: a) understanding the implications of ecosystem changes for economic and social systems; b) identifying trade-offs, i.e. the costs and bene? ts to different stakeholders (particularly the poor), from conserving ecosystems services; and c) examining different institutional arrangements to manage ecosystem services.Economics of Climate Change: With climate change, South Asia is expected to get warmer and witness more extreme events. SANDEE's climate portfolio will support research on: a) valuation of the impacts of climate change; b) evaluation of adaptation and mitigation strategies, particularly those that offer local co-bene? ts and c) examination of institutions and policies that need to be in place for low carbon growth and long-term adjustment to climate change. Policies and Instruments for Greener Growth: Governments and NGOs in South Asia put forward a variety of policies and regulations to manage local to global environmental problems. In order to ensure that these strategies are effective, this thematic area will emphasize: a) program evaluation of the impacts of environmental policies, regulations and programs; and, b) assessment of the economic incentives
associated with different regulatory and market mechanisms and their contribution to policy compliance. While SANDEE's focus is on environmental management, proposals have to include a strong economics component. Multidisciplinary projects with a robust economic focus are encouraged. Institutional af? liation is required for receiving support. Concept notes will be evaluated on their academic merit and policy signi?cance.
SANDEE will collect proposals throughout the year. However, to be considered for our next research competition, please send concept notes by Oct 31st, 2012. The average grant size in recent years has been 20,000 USD for one to two year projects. Larger grants will be considered if a multidisciplinary team of natural and social scientists ar e involved and there is a clear identi?cation of roles and tasks. Please upload concept notes on SANDEE's website at www.sandeeonline.org. For any additional queries, please contact us at [email protected]
