About the Request for Applications

IDEAL is inviting organizations engaged in emergency and development food and nutrition security programming to apply for an Applied Research Award (ARA). IDEAL will award up to five ARAs, each with a maximum value of $300,000 US dollars and a period of up to 24 months. Research funded by this Request for Applications (RFA) will advance knowledge and address knowledge gaps around strategic integration (sequencing, layering, and integration) as described in the Food Assistance and Food Security Programmatic Learning Agenda.

In order to be considered for an ARA, all applicants must submit an application before the published deadline. Only one application will be accepted from each implementing organization or federation. All ARAs must be implemented as partnerships between a food and nutrition security implementing organization and an established research team from a higher education institution or other research institution.   

Application Details 

When is the deadline for applications?

Updates:

  • Compiled answers to questions posed during the recent webinar and the RFA question period in a frequently asked questions (FAQ) document
  • Made four changes in the RFA package, including changing the submission deadline to Friday, October 23rd, 2020

The four changes in the RFA package are highlighted in yellow in the RFA document and Attachment 1. The most significant change is to the submission deadline, which has been pushed back by one week to Friday October 23rd. Please review all text changes and the answers in the FAQ document before submitting an application.

Please remember that in order to be considered for an ARA, all applicants must submit an application before the published deadline. Only one application will be accepted from each implementing organization or federation. All ARAs must be implemented as partnerships between a food and nutrition security implementing organization and an established research team from a higher education institution or other research institution.
