Title

Description The Center for Financial Inclusion is inviting applications for its Global DPI Insights Community Fund to support innovative research projects that advance their collective understanding of how to design and implement DPI responsibly. The initiative prioritizes research focused on financial sustainability, implementation and design tradeoffs, and locally grounded evidence for digital public infrastructure systems. It also seeks studies that map gaps in the design and implementation of DPI systems and analyze potential solutions, including issues related to consumer protection, access, and market competition. The program encourages research anchored in specific countries or regions rather than a universal global lens, with particular relevance to inclusive and responsible financial systems. The Global DPI Insights Community will award a series of research grants of up to USD $50,000 each to support new research exploring how DPI systems are evolving across diverse contexts. The opportunity is open to research institutions, independent researchers, and collaborative partnerships, with strong encouragement for partnerships that include local stakeholders. Through these grants, they aim to generate practical and evidence-based insights that help policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders understand and navigate the complex tradeoffs involved in designing and implementing DPI systems. Applicants must submit a proposal that includes the name of the organization or independent researchers responsible for the project, along with a note of up to 1,000 words describing the research questions, the broader significance of the project for DPI insights, and how the proposed work aligns with the priorities of the grant. The proposal should also briefly outline the research design and methodology. In addition, applicants must provide information about the project team, including their backgrounds and affiliations, as well as an anticipated timeline for project completion and a high-level budget in US dollars. The application must also include the full legal name and address of the intended grantee or award recipient and each researcher involved in the project. Finalists will later be invited to provide a detailed budget and additional information during the next phase of the selection process.
