We are accepting submissions on a rolling basis until 31 March 2026.
Past adaptation and resilience research programmes have generated a lot of insightful and useful data, tools, and approaches and there is great potential for this research to be directed towards transformative outcomes.
The fund is open to Official Development Assistance (ODA)-eligible countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific and Overseas Territories.
The fund is designed to support the needs of government, quasi-government agencies, non-government organisations, and civil society organisations. It must align to at least one of CLARE’s 3 themes and the work must be undertaken in Africa or Asia-Pacific and Overseas Territories.
The resources from the CLARE R4I opportunities fund must make use of existing evidence or research, and are therefore not available for conducting new primary research.
Funded interventions should range from 15,000 to 75,000 Canadian dollars or £8,000 to £42,000 (pounds sterling) and must be designed to be completed within a 12-month timeframe.
We will scope demand through knowledge brokering processes, and map available research. The R4I Hub will then source and procure the services of researchers, technical experts and others, to provide services that address qualifying organisations’ needs.
We will draw service providers from a diverse roster of experts established by the R4I Hub for this purpose. The selection of service providers will promote local expertise and/or build capacity among local experts, in partnership with international experts.
