ETSS is soliciting proposals from qualified academic research centers in Latin America and the Caribbean to serve as a subcontractor under the ETSS/USAID Research Linkages activity. This activity aims to increase USAID’s collaboration with regional, university-based academic experts on topics of relevance to USAID’s policies and activities in LAC. The selected academic partner will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between academic research/expertise and development programming/policymaking. Specifically, the selected partner will work with DevTech and USAID to develop products and services to inform USAID interventions and policies.
