The Pacific Islands Development Program<\/a> (PIDP<\/abbr>) at the East-West Center<\/a> has partnered with the Asian Development Bank<\/a> (ADB<\/abbr>) to support a new pilot project that encourages graduate student research while increasing economist growth and economic recovery in the Pacific.<\/p>\n

Development Research for Oceania Pipeline<\/a> runs through early 2024 and will support three graduate students in their research on development issues in the region.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to develop a pilot that produces action-oriented, useful economic research now, while still investing in long-term economic recovery efforts by increasing expert capacity in the region,” said Karena Lyons, East-West Center vice president and director of PIDP<\/abbr>. “This project, generously funded by the ADB<\/abbr>, is intended to grow more economists in the Pacific.”<\/p>\n

Each researcher will receive a grant of up to $50,000 to finance field research in one or more Pacific Island countries. They will also receive residential academic experience at the East-West Center to support their work.<\/p>\n

The grants will require the researchers to convey their findings to key stakeholders in the Pacific and the publication of policy-relevant research products designed for a broader audience. PIDP<\/abbr> will announce the first annual selection competition for the research awards in late 2020.<\/p>\n

Although the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and East-West Center are separate institutions, they have long been close partners and neighbors.<\/p>\n
