What types of awards are available through the 2009 call for proposals for rapid-response grants?
There are two types of studies eligible for rapid-response funding: • Opportunistic evaluations of imminent changes in policies or environments (i.e., “natural experiments”). • Studies that can inform an ongoing or upcoming policy debate ( e.g., small experimental studies, secondary data analyses, cost-effectiveness analyses, health impact assessments, simulations of policy effects or macro-level policy analyses). Please refer to the call for proposals document for more information and examples of studies that would be eligible for funding. You may also read about rapid-response grants funded under the 2008 rapid-response CFP.
