The Hinrich Foundation supports international trade research that advances understanding of global trade issues and informs policy development. Its program invites proposals from individual researchers and research organizations worldwide, covering topics from trade governance and geopolitics to investment, supply chains, technology, sustainability, and economic development.
The program supports both new research projects and overviews or summaries of researchers’ existing work, including work already published elsewhere. Research products generally take the form of white papers and articles, and a project may combine these formats. The Foundation’s research program team provides feedback on progress and findings, with projects encouraged to reach completion within four months of commissioning.
