Research at CID

The Center is home to a large and diverse group of faculty – from economists to entomologists – and the research undertaken by the scholars affiliated with CID covers a very broad canvas. We strive to support research in all areas of development by providing and managing grants for discrete projects, collaborative programs, and research seminars. In this section you will find brief descriptions of ongoing faculty and doctoral student research initiatives. CID also supports masters and undergraduate student thesis research projects each year. More details and the list of current research initiatives can be found below.
