The Sexual Violence Research Initiative in partnership with the World Bank Group, through the SVRI and the WBGs Development Marketplace for innovations on GBV prevention and response, are seeking proposals for research and interventions or related activities that will contribute to the prevention and response of gender-based violence in low and middle income countries.

Projects under this call should be for a maximum of up to 24 months duration.
 
Proposals will be accepted that address:
 
·      piloting, adaptation, testing and/or scale up of new or promising interventions, self-contained research projects that are either stand alone or fit within a larger project which will build on, or support prevention or response of GBV, including formative research studies

·      pilot or feasibility studies, costing studies on promising/effective GBV interventions to assess value for money, adding a new component/arm to an already funded intervention

·      projects to disseminate promising research findings, secondary analysis of existing data, studies to better understand the mechanisms and pathways of change of effective GBV prevention interventions

·       studies to measure the ripple/spillover effects on GBV prevention, and research on the role of the private sector in GBV prevention and response.
 
There are 6 awards available for up to USD100,000, of which three will fund a maximum of USD150,000.
 
Applications are due 1st October 2016 at 11:59:59pm South African Standard Time (4:59:59pm EST). Late applications will not be accepted. Applications will be accepted in English, French and Spanish.

AWID will launch the 2016 Online Tribute to WHRDs as part of our contributions to the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence campaign which takes place every year from November 25 – December 10, 2016. We invite you to submit stories (biographies and photos) of feminists, WHRDs and LGBTQI activists from your country or region who are no longer with us.

Please send your contribution to membership@awid.org . Deadline for submissions is September 30, 2016.
The biographies and photos you send will be added to our online exhibit, shared with our partners, as well as highlighted through social media and email communications during the 16 Days of Activism.

AWID especially encourages submissions concerning groups routinely rendered invisible, such as young women, disabled women, sex workers, LGBTQI, and indigenous women.
