SANDEE research grant-regular research grants

For research grants, we generally invite the submission of research pre-proposals two times a year in April and October. However, pre-proposals are accepted throughout the year. Pre-proposals are evaluated on their academic merit and policy significance. After screening the pre-proposals, short-listed applicants are invited to submit full proposals, which are reviewed internally and externally before the grant is awarded. Grants are managed through the researchers institution, so an institutional affiliation is required for receiving the research grant.

2024	Qiushan Li	How ecological zoning policies benefit post-disaster reconstruction: A study on the synergy between ecological environment and socioeconomic factors	China	The objective of the study is it assess the changes of LULC, ESV, and the coupling coordination degree of EE and SE in disaster-stricken areas with a focus on comparing pre-disaster and post-reconstruction periods. Additionally, to develop a PDR planning framework that effectively balance environmental protection and economic development. The specific objectives are: • To examine spatiotemporal changes in LULC and ESV during the recovery period to understand impact on the reconstruction effort. • To investigate the dynamic interactions between EE and SE factors before and after a disaster using SD modeling. • To identity the strategies and policies that effectively balance economic recovery with ecological preservation, ensuring long-term sustainability in PDR.
2024	Nazeem Uddin	Estimating loss and damage (L&D) from climate induced disasters: A case study of marginalized community in the Gilgit Baltistan (GB)	Pakistan	This project plans to focus on following objectives: Objective 1: Estimating and spatially mapping gender disparity faced due to loss and damage (L&D) caused by climate induced extreme events. Objective 2: Estimating and spatially mapping children climate risk index (CCRI) facing the challenges of climate induced disasters. Objective 3: Exploring the causal relationship of L&D on outcome variables, for instance food insecurity, productivity in agricultural sector, poverty, mental health, children well-being, disabilities, and others with gender lenses. Objective 4: Devise a comprehensive adaptation action plan against climate induced sudden onset events.
2024	Tanu Gupta	Breathing inequality? Unmasking the gendered impact of air pollution on labour dynamics and time allocation in India	India	In this study, we propose to estimate the relationship between air pollution (measured by PM2.5), labor supply, and time use allocation for men and women in India. This study will provide a case for an environmentally friendly policy that will be gender equal as well.The objectives of the study are: 1. Empirically estimating the contemporaneous effects of air pollution (measured by exposure to PM 2.5) on labor supply both at the extensive and intensive margins from a gender lens. 2. Assessing the contemporaneous effects of air pollution on the distribution of time use allocation of men and women separately. 3. Exploring the intra-household dynamics of labor and time use allocation due to PM2.5 exposure.
2024	Md. Shakhaoat Hossain	Reducing air pollution exposure among primary students through school-based behavioural interventions using high-frequency phone surveys	Bangladesh	The general objective of this research project is to reduce air pollution exposure among primary school students through school-based behavioral interventions. Specific Objectives: 1) To develop and implement behavioral interventions aimed at reducing air pollution exposure among primary school students. 2) To evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions. 3) To provide evidence-based recommendations for policy development, focusing on school infrastructure, outdoor activity guidelines, and the implementation of protective measures such as mask usage to reduce air pollution exposure in school settings.
2024	Shilpa	Adapting Pastoralism to Climate Change in Indian Himalayan Region	India	The study will analyze individual adaptive behavior and impact of climate change adaptive practices used by the pastorals against climate change. The specific objectives are: 1. To know the impact of climate change adaptation strategies on pastorals 2. To know the drivers for the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies 3. Perceptions and problems faced by pastorals towards adaptation strategies
