Calls for proposal

Since 2002, CAF carries out its Annual Research Competition in the framework of the Research Support Program, an initiative aimed at promoting research in areas of interest for CAF, in order to establish a close relationship between young researchers and more experienced researchers, and to be a place for the generation of projects that contribute to the development of the region.

The competition is mainly aimed, although not exclusively, at researchers associated with universities, research institutes, public and private institutions in Latin America, and to assistant professors, researchers, or post graduate students from CAF's shareholder countries that work at institutions in the United States or Europe, focused on subjects related with Latin America.

CAF provides economic support to the selected proposals, and the finalists may be presented in local seminars or at the annual meeting of the Latin American and Caribbean Economic Association (LACEA), and/or may be published in thePerspectivasJournal edited by CAF.

The proposals are evaluated on the basis of the following premises:

• Relevance of the subject within CAF's agenda for the promotion of development
• Academic quality of the proposals
• Relevance from the point of view of the policies
