See: http://ineteconomics.org/initiatives/grants/spring-2011 "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"
