Open Grants Competition

Our purpose is to make research work. One way to do this is to create regular opportunities for researchers and decision makers to share research results. We do this in various ways, including funding projects through the Open Grants Competition.

In these reports, researchers have another opportunity to put their research results into action.

The key implications for decision makers, executive summaries, and full reports are posted in the language they were submitted in. All of the key implications and executive summaries have been translated and are also available here.

The reports are organized under the following themes:
