Please circulate to those who might be interested: 
William Davidson Institute Research Competition 
Public Policy and Business Development in the Balkans 
  
Request for Proposals 
Application Deadline: FEBRUARY 28, 2002 
 
The William Davidson Institute will support research by U.S. scholars on the 
following topics: 
* Business development and performance 
* Public policies which affect the development of markets 
  
Research should focus on, but need not exclusively address, the 
Balkans. 
One to three grants between the amounts of $10,000 and $35,000 will be 
awarded. Grants will be awarded for up to, but not exceeding, 19 
months beginning June 1, 2002. Priority will be given to projects that 
demonstrate cost sharing. Grant recipients may be asked to present their 
findings at Davidson Institute and U.S. Department of State policy forums. 
  
Applicants must have completed a PhD degree or be a current PhD 
candidate, and must show a demonstrated commitment to the study of 
transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe. Collaborative projects 
are eligible, but only if the non-U.S. collaborator is funded from other 
sources. Grant funds may be used for travel, summer support or salary 
replacement, research assistants and data acquisition. The research papers 
resulting from the grants will be added to the Davidson Institute Working 
Paper Series, and data accumulated under the grant will be deposited at the 
Davidson Institute Data Center and made available to other researchers 
within a negotiated time frame. 
  
Application guidelines and procedures may be obtained from Deborah Jahn, 
Research Administrator, at djahn@umich.edu, and will soon also be available 
on our website at http://www.wdi.bus.umich.edu/research/call.htm. If you 
have any 
procedural questions, contact Ms. Jahn. Content questions should be 
directed to Anna Meyendorff, Project Director, at ameyen@umich.edu. 
  
This competition is supported by Title VIII funding from the U.S.Department 
of State.
