This program seeks to engage researchers to source, support, and fund research partnerships between low- and middle-income country (LMIC) research institutions and U.S.-based institutions on topics important to global development. USAID expects that activities under this Addendum will focus on three overarching priorities:
Priority 1: Fund high-quality, locally led research, with a goal to better understand international development challenges and develop and disseminate solutions.
Priority 2: Support U.S.-local research partnerships which can persist beyond USAID funding and produce long-term benefits for all partners.
Priority 3: Strengthen capacity at local higher education institutions for conducting and disseminating research.
