Faculty Research Support
EGC Small Research Grants Program
The EGC small research grants program for faculty is designed to support exploratory research and small projects. These grants may be used for a variety of research-related purposes, including graduate or undergraduate research assistance, field work and primary data collection expenses, data purchase and research-related travel, and seed funding for large external grant applications when no other funding sources are available. The maximum grant size will typically not exceed $10,000.
Faculty eligible for these grants include all EGC affiliates, with priority given to junior faculty. If you are a Yale faculty member who is not an EGC faculty affiliate but would like to be considered, please send an email of inquiry to egc@yale.edu.

EGC Faculty Research Incubation Grant
The Economic Growth Center (EGC) at Yale University seeks to assist EGC affiliates in the development of research projects that have already received external funding or where the explicit goal is to use preliminary research to apply for external grant funding from major agencies (e.g. National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, USAID DIV, the Fund for Innovation in Development (FID), and private foundations). In particular, the EGC would like to encourage faculty to engage current Yale PhD students as research assistants while undertaking this work. Awards of up to $10,000 will be available in the summer of 2024 to support the hiring of Economics PhD students to this end.
