ICUDDR is soliciting applications for mini-grants of no more than U.S.D. $5000 to support researchers in low and middle income countries as defined by the World Bank. The grants are designed to overcome barriers in one of two areas: preliminary data collection and analysis or grant writing capacity. ICUDDR will host a bidders’ conference at two different times on to answer any questions and describe the goals of the ICUDDR NIDA mini-grants project.
