Call for Research Teams: Building the Economics of Open Transaction Networks | Global Development Network Local Research for Better Lives Call for Research Teams: Building the Economics of Open Transaction Networks Research Get Involved Impact Call for Research Teams: Building the Economics of Open Transaction Networks The Global Development Network (GDN) invites applications from research teams based in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) to participate in the Building the Economics of Open Transaction Networks research programme, supported by the Gates Foundation.
The programme will select six research teams to generate rigorous empirical evidence on the economics of Open Transaction Networks (OTNs) by undertaking research on one of two themes: Participation and Inclusion, which examines whether OTNs expand participation among previously underserved buyers and sellers; or Welfare and Wider Impacts, which assesses how OTNs affect earnings, prices, market access, and the broader conditions of businesses and markets.
While proposals examining any OTN implementation are welcome, preference will be given to studies focusing on OTNs implemented using the Beckn Protocol, particularly in Brazil, India, and Kenya. Selected teams will each receive grants of USD 50,000 and participate in a collaborative research programme with strategic and technical guidance from GDN's Global Scientific Advisory Committee, comprising senior economists and OTN experts.
Eligible applicants are research teams affiliated with universities, think tanks, policy research centres, non-profit organisations, and other research institutions based in LMICs, with a demonstrated track record of conducting empirical research in the country where the OTN is implemented. Applications must be submitted by 21 August 2026 (Anywhere on Earth).
