Applications are now open for the GDPC Small Research Grants Program.
The Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC) is pleased to announce the launch of its small research grants program, focused on the theme climate resilience in urban areas. This initiative aims to deepen our understanding of urban climate resilience by supporting original research in low- and middle-income countries. The program is designed to expand the evidence base and contribute to building more resilient urban environments in the face of climate change.
Program Overview
The GDPC small research grants program provides funding to university researchers for projects focused on climate resilience in urban areas within selected topics. This program specifically supports scholars who traditionally have limited access to funding, with grants available exclusively to researchers from low- and middle-income countries.
Awards provide up to $10,000 USD for research lasting up to eight months, with a completion deadline of September 30, 2025. This program supports applied and impactful research that can inform policy, planning, humanitarian programming, community action, and so on. Research must be original, and plagiarism will result in immediate disqualification at any stage of the grant process. For more details, please consult the Frequently Asked Questions section.
