This report details the selection process for the second round of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Small Grants Program (SGP II). It outlines the evaluation of 88 proposals, the criteria used by the evaluation panel and the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), and the final recommendation of 22 projects for funding totaling US$ 612,701.

• The IAI received 88 proposals for the second round of the Small Grants Program (SGP II) by the August 18, 2003 deadline. While the total amount requested was US$ 2,512,527, the available budget for the project was US$ 600,000, with individual grants capped at US$ 30,000.
• The evaluation process involved a three-step peer review. After two proposals were disqualified for incomplete documentation, 86 proposals (41 Research, 42 Workshops, and 3 Technical Reports) were reviewed. The process included mail reviews focusing on scientific excellence and a panel review that considered multinational collaboration, capacity building, and budget appropriateness.
• An Evaluation Panel met in São José dos Campos, Brazil, from October 20 to 22, 2003, consisting of four external scientists and three SAC members. Using a scale of 1 to 5, the panel identified 48 proposals as suitable for funding (scoring 3.4 or higher), with a combined budget of US$ 1,369,361.
• The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) met from November 3 to 5 in Santo Domingo to refine the list of recommendations for the Executive Council (EC). The SAC considered thematic distribution based on the IAI Scientific Agenda, regional and multinational balance, and the inclusion of new groups and themes. Ultimately, the SAC recommended funding 22 proposals for a total of US$ 612,701.
