Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) Program
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) joined with several U.S. Government (USG)-supported agencies to support Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER). Administered by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, PEER was a competitive grants program that invited scientists in developing countries, partnered with USG-supported collaborators, to apply for funds to support research and capacity-building activities on topics with substantial potential development impacts. This innovative program was designed to leverage the investments other USG-supported agencies have made in scientific research and training while supporting the initiatives of developing country scientists.
