DEADLINE: MONDAY, 30 SEPTEMBRR 2024 - NOW OPEN
STEG invites applications to the Eighth call for proposals for Small Research Grants.
SRGs of between £10,000 and £25,000 can fund research assistance, data collection and/or purchase, and potentially research stipends/teaching buyouts. Grants also support travel to field sites, even when secondary data is utilised. We view this kind of travel (with the possibilities for field visits and conversations with policymakers) as particularly important for researchers who lack prior experience in the countries that they intend to study.
While PhD students are eligible to apply to our SRG calls, we also issue a special call exclusively for PhD students in addition to our SRG calls in order to encourage broader participation in the programme. PhD Research Grants up to £15,000 are essentially equivalent to SRGs and fund similar activities.
Research may focus on broad systemic patterns and processes of structural transformation and growth for low- and middle-income countries, in a comparative sense across time or space, or more narrowly defined topics related to one or more of our research themes. Other areas of interest may not fit cleanly into any of the themes but are centrally relevant to STEG and are also encouraged.
STEG is also focused around three cross-cutting issues that are simultaneously relevant to many areas of structural transformation, including the six research themes: gender, climate change and the environment, and inequality and inclusion. Research proposals speaking to these issues will receive particular consideration.
We aim to issue funding decisions within three months of call deadlines. Grants are intended to be completed within 12 months.
We strongly recommend that prospective applicants read the SRG documentation about eligibility, country criteria, preparing an application, how to apply online and the SRG Frequently Asked Questions before applying.
Deadline: 23:59 BST, Monday, 30 September 2024.

Please note:
- We aim to issue funding decisions within three months of call deadlines.
- A Small Research Grant is intended to be completed within 12 months.
- Contracts should be signed within one month of the return of the final decision, which is also the expected project start date.
- Given the volume of proposals received, we may not be able to provide tailored feedback to proposals unsuccessful at the first stage of reviews.
Deadline
23:59 BST, Monday, 30 September 2024
Applicants are asked to submit their proposals, using the templates available at the bottom of the SRG & PhD funding page, via the SRG Application Form on Hub.
