Announcement of the second CDKN International Research Call On Climate Compatible Development

The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) launched its second international research call in September 2011, offering approximately £4 million to fund around 8 projects. The call focuses on two main themes: 'Climate Compatible Development - policies and processes' and 'Climate-related Disaster Risk Management and Resilience'. Projects are expected to last 18-24 months, with typical budgets between £400,000 and £500,000, though exceptional projects may receive up to £1 million. Eligibility requires joint proposals from at least two organisations, including at least one from a developing country. Evaluation is based on scientific excellence, policy impact, and the degree to which the research is demand-led by developing country policy makers.

• The research call allocates a total budget of approximately £4 million to fund roughly 8 projects, each lasting between 18 and 24 months.
• Funding is typically expected to be between £400,000 and £500,000 per project, although projects with an exceptionally strong rationale can apply for up to £1 million.
• The call is structured around two primary research themes: 'Climate Compatible Development - policies and processes' and 'Climate-related Disaster Risk Management and Resilience'.
• Research under the first theme focuses on three areas: the design and delivery of climate compatible development, decision paths and tools, and low carbon policies on development and growth.
• The second theme focuses on four areas: the design of disaster risk management systems, disaster responses that build resilience, risk financing for risk reduction, and the costs and benefits of risk management strategies.
• Eligibility requires proposals to be joint applications from at least two organisations, with at least one partner based in a developing country (low or middle income).
• Proposals are evaluated on eight criteria, with the highest weight given to scientific excellence and policy impact; projects scoring less than 7 out of 10 on either of these two criteria will be rejected.
