Within the scope of the program, research and implementation grants ranging from 20,000 to 250,000 USD are provided, depending on the type and scale of the project. In this round, new support mechanisms such as “Evidence Use Grants” and “Conference Travel Grants” have also been introduced.
Supported projects include impact evaluations (RCTs), pilot implementations, and policy analyses focused on strengthening economic integration for refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and host communities. Themes such as resilience, employment, entrepreneurship, social cohesion, and access to legal rights are among the priority areas.
Academic researchers, NGOs collaborating with these researchers, and field implementation institutions can apply to the program. Studies to be conducted on refugee communities in Turkey are eligible. In this round, special application pathways have also been opened for refugee-led organizations (RLOs).
The application process consists of two stages:
