Calls for Research Proposals

The IDB Group’s Gender and Diversity Knowledge Initiative (GDLab) is responsible for leading and funding high-impact research aimed at reducing gender and diversity gaps and addressing challenges to overcome existing inequalities between men and women, as well as those faced by indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ people.

To date, GDLab has launched four calls for proposals:

• LGBTQ+ People in Latin America and the Caribbean (launched in May 2021). The studies selected in this call for proposals are now completed
• Post-COVID-19 employment recovery for women and diverse populations in Latin America and the Caribbean (launched in November 2021). The studies selected in this call are under development.
• Gender-based violence against women, children, and adolescents (launched in September 2022). The studies selected in this call are under development.
• Climate change and its nexus with gender and diversity (launched in May 2023). The results of this call will be announced in August 2023.
