Please note that WRC will not be accepting any unsolicited research proposals until further notice. You are invited to visit our website in early 2010, when WRC will be launching a global research initiative on Democratic Governance, Women’s Rights and Gender Equality.

Proposals that are aligned with the WRC program initiative will be evaluated on a quarterly basis.  Please note that all proposals submitted to WRC will receive a receipt of acknowledgement within two weeks of submission.

Please note that WRC  has a limited budget and funds very few unsolicited proposals. Among those, proposals coming from networks of Southern researchers are favoured. The bulk of WRC's research funds is allocated to projects that are solicited, either through research competitions or through contacting specific researchers whose work comes to our attention.
