Crime and Violence Initiative Scholars Information Session
The Crime and Violence Initiative (CVI) is a research initiative that fosters experimental research on crime and social and political violence. Crime and violence can hinder economic development and growth, and exacerbate governance challenges by fostering corruption and draining public sector resources. The initiative funds evaluations that focus on preventing, mitigating, and responding to the effects of crime and violence.
CVI aims to create more opportunities for researchers based in low- or middle- income countries (LMIC). Through the CVI Scholars Program, we will make funding and mentoring opportunities available to researchers interested in conducting randomized impact evaluations that fall within CVI’s scope. These opportunities are designed for researchers who hold a PhD, whose primary affiliation is with a university, who are based in an LMIC and who are not yet part of J-PAL’s network.
Please join our CVI Scholars Program information webinar on August 15 at 9 am ET, during which we will outline CVI’s scope and Request for Proposals (RFP) timelines, Scholars Program details, and best practices for applying for funding from CVI.
