Please welcome 🤗 (+ follow ✅) @3ieimpact.org , an organization I have long admired! In my humble (biased) opinion, 3ie’s commitment to rigorously & innovatively generating, synthesizing, & communicating evidence to inform policy & maximize impact is simply unparalleled! 📊📈📉 www.3ieimpact.org/about

FYI: The Spencer Foundation, Kapor Foundation, The William T. Grant Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation have collaborated to offer $25K rapid response grants. "This rapid response bridge funding opportunity is for scholars and teams whose grants have recently been cancelled by NSF."

"These $25,000 grants are for activities to address immediate needs following grant cancellations, including completing a wave of data collection, analyzing already collected data or writing, thoughtful project closure with community partners, or preparing grant proposals to continue the research."
