Description
The King Center on Global Development at Stanford University provides emergency research funding to support ongoing projects in low- and middle-income countries that face unexpected challenges. This program is designed to ensure that important research can proceed despite temporary setbacks, such as delays in funder commitments or sudden regulatory changes. Funding is strictly for discrete, unforeseen needs that threaten the continuation of already-funded research, not for additional or new research activities, pilot projects, or to launch work before securing primary funding.
