Description
The King Center Global Development Emergency Research Funding program at Stanford University offers limited, rapid-response financial support for ongoing research projects in low- and middle-income countries that encounter unforeseen challenges. This emergency funding is specifically intended to address discrete, one-time needs that threaten project continuity, such as delays in funder commitments (bridge funding) or shocks like regulatory changes or new tariffs. The goal is to ensure that otherwise fully funded projects can proceed despite unexpected obstacles, rather than to launch new research or expand project scope.
