Grantees
The Transregional Planning Grants support the development of collaborative research projects that deepen understanding of the mutual shaping of social and environmental change in and across Indian Ocean countries. The grantees were chosen through a highly selective peer review process, conducted by an interdisciplinary and transnational group of regional experts. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, grantees will undertake a range of project development activities, including collaborative workshops coordinated by the SSRC.
