START, with funding from CDKN, is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals (CFP) for research on integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation for resilient development in South Asia. The geographical scope of the CFP is Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. CDKN expects to fund up to five research projects of a maximum $110,000 USD for up to 19-months’ duration.

Research theme and sub-themes

This CFP seeks collaborative research in the area of adaptive capacity, climate change, and disaster risk reduction in South Asia under the theme of integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation for resilient development.

Under this broad research theme, the sub-themes specific to this CFP are:

  1. Institutional arrangements and governance structures that influence the degree of flexibility and sustainability of DRR across varying scales.
  2. Policy innovations that promote convergence of DRR and CCA into policy and practice at varying scales.
  3. The changing nature of development factors, which shape vulnerability to disasters.

Implicit in these sub-themes is the need to understand how recent disasters can serve to inform future decision-making and enhance adaptive capacity. What were important failures and successes, and what needs to change in current policies, institutions, and governance structures to build adaptive capacity for disaster risk management given future climate change? What are key enabling factors for this change to occur? How do responses need to change in anticipation of future climate-related events, and how can appropriate responses be developed given the inherent uncertainties about future change trajectories?

Proposals are expected to demonstrate how the research will address one or more of the research sub-themes within the overall research theme.

DEADLINE: 29 February 2012 at Midnight (2400 hours) US Eastern Standard Time at the International START Secretariat office.  Please submit electronically to: proposals [at] start.org
