"In our first round of research grants, awarded in Fall 2010, INET awarded nearly 40 grants totaling over $5 million. For the second round of research grants, these four areas remain our focus:
1. Macroeconomics and Finance (M&F)
2. History and Political Economy (H&PE)
3. Economic Development and Growth (EDG)
4. The Economics Profession (EP)
Within these four broad areas, in this round we would particularly like to invite proposals that address:
* Sources and remedies of financial instability
* Institutional design for radical (Knightian) uncertainty
* Political economy of the state and public goods provision
* Political economy of income and wealth distribution
* Corporate governance in an age of economic globalization
* Human capability and economic development
...
Research grants will be awarded twice per year. The timeline for the first cycle of 2011 is planned as follows:
January 28, 2011 Research Grant Program announced
March 5, 2011 Stage 1 Proposals due to INET
April 5, 2011 INET announces Proposals nominated into Stage 2
May 1, 2011 Stage 2 Proposals due to INET
May 31, 2011 Research Grant awards announced by INET"
