Research Partner Qualifications & Experience:
To conduct the proposed impact evaluation, BRAC International seeks to make an award to a single entity. The entity to receive the award must have the capacity to manage the award in all of its aspects, including research design, data collection, analysis and report writing. We welcome partnerships between research firms and potential principal investigators from academic institutions, and will accept applications from both.
In cases where the principal investigator (PI) is not an employee of the entity applying for the award, the proposal should outline the history of the relationship between the award applicant and the PI. We will show preference to entities that have already identified a PI. Preferably, this relationship would be demonstrated through a letter of support from the PI submitted with the proposal. In any case, it is expected that a teaming agreement or memorandum of understanding between the awardee and the PI be established before the award can be made.
Scope & Responsibilities:
The research team, comprised of the entity receiving the award and any partners or subcontractors, must be able to:
Serve as research partners willing to collaboratively work with BRAC International to co-design a study that will both be rigorous and inform key programmatic designs;
Maintain regular communication with BI throughout the process to ensure that BI can adequately support and coordinate with the research team while allowing for opportunities for AIM to learn from the insights generated by the research team;
Conduct research, with potential for peer review, in the countries in which AIM is operating;
Obtain all necessary research approvals at the institution and country level;
Collect data, manage, and store data according to the highest ethical standards;
Clean and analyze data; and
Submit clear and well-articulated reports on research findings.
