RFP @ NCAER
NCAER National Data Innovation Centre (NDIC)
Request for Proposals (RFP) on Methodological Innovations to Improve Data Quality
RFP launch date: July 22, 2019
Due date for Proposals: August 31, 2019
The National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) is one of India's oldest and largest independent, non-profit, economic and social research institutes. It undertakes grant-funded research and commissioned studies for governments and industry, and is one of the few think tanks globally that also collects primary data. NCAER has set up a National Data Innovation Centre (NDIC) to serve as a laboratory for experiments in data collection, interfacing with partners in think tanks, Indian and international universities, and government. NDIC forms an important core of NCAER's long-standing data collection activities. NCAER, has partnered with the Universities of Maryland and Michigan for the NDIC. Initial funding for NDIC is being provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Request for Proposal (RFP)
The focus on data-oriented research and the dynamic policy environment impose a great demand for rapid, high-quality, and policy-relevant data. Changing socio-economic conditions and technological innovations necessitate rethinking of both the kind of data being collected and how they are collected. In that context, quality assurance mechanisms play an important role in influencing the credibility of the data being collected.
Therefore, the focus of the current RFP is to seek proposals on methods to improve data quality across the following themes: gender equity, women's time use, health system, health insurance and healthcare expenditure, employment and unemployment, family planning, and financial inclusion.
The proposals on these themes should ideally focus on generating evidence pertaining to the following specific areas relevant to data quality:
Sampling frame for selection of ultimate sampling units
Use of paradata as a quality assurance mechanism
Controlling interviewer bias and variability in outcomes
Real time survey data and consistency checks
Use of machine learning techniques to identify patterns automatically
Secondary data analysis to quantify variability between interviewers
Eligibility and Funding
Applicants affiliated to any academic or research institutes, non-profit organisations, and private companies that have experience in primary data collection and work out of offices located within India are eligible to apply. We hope that the successful applicants will be able to collaborate with NCAER researchers in future activities, allowing NCAER and the Centre to expand both its network as well as the skill sets of professionals associated with it.
The Centre will support a budget of up to Rs. 20,00,000/- (inclusive of all applicable taxes) for a period of 12 months. The budget should clearly indicate the actual needs and modes of utilisation of the funding for the proposed project. There is a provision for two such grants of up to Rs. 20,00,000/- (inclusive of all applicable taxes). However, only one grant for each applicant will be considered for funding.
All applications must be emailed to Arpita Kayal, Programme Manager, NDIC (akayal@ncaer.org), in a single PDF document (with the text in 'Georgia' font, point size 12).

The conference is associated with the Scopus and DOAJ listed IAFOR Journal of Education (https://iafor.org/journal/iafor-journal-of-education/) ––– The 11th Asian Conference on Education (ACE2019) ––– The conference theme for The 11th Asian Conference on Education is "Independence and Interdependence", and invites reflections on the desirability, extent and limits of our individual independence and autonomy, of that of our students, and of the institutions and structures within which we work, teach and learn. We do not educate, and are not educated in vacuums, but in such contexts and constraints as families, groups, and societies; of nations and cultures; of identities and religions; and of political and financial realities. Ever-changing technologies offer new ways for us to be independent and autonomous learners, encouraging students to be self-directed and confident in making choices, and enabling and empowering students and teachers to be proactive and tailor content. However, myriad technologies and services make us more dependent on the very things allowing autonomy. How do we help students and teachers alike navigate and curate the vast information available? How do we encourage individual growth while also underlining the importance of belonging and of the reciprocal responsibilities and privileges of education? How do we help students build the skills and attitudes necessary for positive engagement in distributed, globalised communities that so often lead to polarisation and alienation instead? How do we educate with independence and interdependence in mind? – The ACE2019 Organising Committee Tien-Hui Chiang, Zhengzhou University, China Joseph Haldane, The International Academic Forum (IAFOR), Japan Paul Lai, Nagoya University, Japan Tzu-Bin Lin, National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan Yvonne Masters, Independent Researcher José McClanahan, Creighton University, USA Ted O'Neill, Gakushuin University, Japan Justin Sanders, Temple University, Japan Campus Zachary Walker, University College London (UCL), UK ––– IAFOR Publishing Opportunities (SCOPUS) ––– ACE Official Conference Proceedings https://papers.iafor.org/proceedings_category/ace-official-conference-proceedings/ ISSN: 2186-5892 If your abstract is accepted and you have registered for the conference, you are encouraged to submit a full paper for inclusion in the official Conference Proceedings.
