The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and Nesta are pleased to announce a call for proposals for experimental research projects on innovation, entrepreneurship, and growth. The main aim of this call is to fund experimental research that uses randomized control trials (RCTs) to provide evidence on the best approaches to increase innovation, support high-growth entrepreneurship and accelerate business growth. This grants programme is the first initiative of a new international collaboration, the global innovation, entrepreneurship and growth lab, which involves research funders and innovation and business support government agencies interested in increasing the use of RCTs in innovation and entrepreneurship research and evaluation.
The full Call for Proposals and proposal requirements are available at http://www.nesta.org.uk/about-us/work-us/grants-for-innovation.
To whom this Call for Proposals is relevant
Programme delivery organizations and operators involved in entrepreneurship training and education programmes, innovation management and commercialization, or other programmes that aim to support innovation and entrepreneurship, who are interested in participating in research projects and undertaking randomized controlled trials.
Researchers interested in designing and conducting randomized controlled trials on innovation and entrepreneurship.
We will directly fund research and, when necessary and appropriate, we will also facilitate projects by matching programme operators and researchers. We welcome applications from researchers and programme delivery organizations from around the world.
Deadline for proposals: 5pm, Monday 24 February 2014
