Research on Development Issues
The goal of the Grant is to support early and mid-career researchers in the Pacific to design and lead the execution of their own research projects, and provide doctoral candidates and masters students studying at Pacific Island universities with the support they require to complete field research for their thesis.
Objective
The Grant will support Pacific scholars to ensure that development questions important to Pacific island researchers are prioritised. The Grants will allow DevNet to further its intended outcomes of facilitating and supporting Pacific researchers to conduct their own research, and will support new research on international development to become more accessible.
