The Think Tank Initiative has launched a call to recruit an evaluation team for its second phase. You can find\u00a0details on the Request for Proposal and how to apply on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not long ago,\u00a0Peter Taylor, the head of the initiative, wrote about the\u00a0lessons learned from the first phase evaluation<\/a>, thus providing some good ideas about what to look for in developing the new proposals for this project.<\/p>\n With the objective of encouraging new players in this sector (particularly from developing countries) to apply or to play greater roles in the evaluation teams, let me offer some ideas of my own. These are in no way to be taken as binding or to have any significance to the TTI selection process. They will evaluate the proposals on their own merits according to their own criteria.<\/p>\n But here is my wish-list of things I\u2019d like to\u00a0see in the proposals:<\/p>\n I hope these ideas will encourage more applications. The more the merrier, I always say.<\/p>\n I have already received emails from some researchers and evaluators interested in getting involved. If I hear of anyone who is interested in putting together a bid I\u2019ll pass on your contact info to them; or, if alternatively, you are putting a bid together and would like their contact info, drop me a line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The call for proposals for the second phase of the Think Tank Initiative presents an opportunity to reflect on what such an evaluation should entail.
