Further to our earlier announcement (see below) applicants to the UNHCR
small grants programme are strongly advised to submit their applications
well before the final 31 May deadline, in view of the quantity and
quality of the applications that have already been received.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
UNHCR's Policy Development and Evaluation Service (PDES) invites
applications to its 2011 Small Grants Programme. The purpose of the
programme is to encourage and enable original research and writing to be
undertaken on refugee, displacement, migration and humanitarian issues
and situations.
The maximum grant under this programme is $7,500, payable for projects
that can be completed within a maximum of six months and which result in
the preparation of a 20-40 page paper that can be published in the PDES
working paper series 'New Issues in Refugee Research. Applications for
sums of less than $7,500 will be prioritized in the selection process,
as will those which address issues and situations that are closely
related to UNHCR's mandate and operational activities. Proposals for
micro-studies that are unrelated to broader policy and programme issues
will generally not be funded.
To apply for a grant under this programme, please submit (1) a one-page
project proposal, (2) an indicative budget, (3) a CV and (4) a writing
sample, to [log in to unmask], with 'Small grant' in the subject line.
Applications that do not conform to this format will not be considered.
The application period closes on 31 May 2011.
Please apply for a grant under this programme only if you are serious
about undertaking the proposed research. PDES has a limited amount of
resources available for this initiative and if you awarded a grant that
is not effectively used for the stated purpose, you will be depriving
other people of the opportunity to participate in the programme and will
be contractually required to repay any funds advanced to you.

With best regards,
Dr. Jeff Crisp,
Head, PDES
