This report details the selection process and funding recommendations for the second round of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Small Grant Program (SGP II), which received 88 proposals and recommended 22 for funding.

• The IAI Small Grant Program (SGP II) received 88 proposals by the August 18, 2003 deadline, with a total budget request of US$ 2,512,527. The available budget for the program was US$ 600K, with individual grants capped at US$ 30K, and the IAI intended to fund approximately 20 proposals.
• Of the 88 initial proposals, two were disqualified for incomplete documentation, leaving 86 to enter a three-step peer-review process consisting of mail, panel, and IAI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) reviews. The 86 proposals included 41 Research, 42 Workshop, and 3 Technical Report projects.
• A review panel meeting in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil, from October 20-22, 2003, used a five-increment rating scale to rank 48 proposals as fundable (scoring 3.4 or higher), representing a total budget of US$ 1,369,361.
• The SAC met from November 3-5, 2003, in Santo Domingo to refine the list of recommendations based on the panel's 48 fundable proposals, considering thematic distribution, regional and institutional balance, and the participation of new groups and topics. The SAC ultimately recommended 22 proposals for funding, totaling US$ 612,701.
