Background  \nThe Cash Transfers for Child Health (CaTCH) Initiative managed by J-PAL South Asia and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, seeks to improve child health by generating policy-relevant rigorous evidence on the design and delivery of cash transfer programs in India. Specifically, these transfers generally fall into three groups:  \n1. Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs)  \n2. Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCTs)  \n3. Pay for Performance (P4P) schemes for health workers.  \nThrough use of randomized evaluations, the initiative aims to better understand and address important constraints to improving child health and how cash transfers1 can relieve these constraints. In order to emphasize the policy-relevant nature of this initiative, potential evaluations must assess the impact of cash transfers implemented by government partners. Research must concern transfer programs that clearly demonstrate potential to improve child outcomes.  \nTo submit a proposal for consideration, please complete the application requirements described in this document and email to [CaTCH@povertyactionlab.org](CaTCH@povertyactionlab.org) by no later than 11:59pm U.S. Pacific Time on Friday, 31 January 2020.  \n1 CaTCH initiative funds research on cash transfers, which for the purposes of the initiative includes conditional and unconditional cash, vouchers, and in-kind transfer programs.  \nCaTCH studies should be designed to test scalable, cost-effective interventions implemented by the government that improve child health through the evaluation of better designed and delivered cash transfer and pay-for-performance programs. Three types of proposals will be considered:  \n1. Travel/Proposal Development Grants: These grants are limited to a maximum of $5,000. Travel grants enable interested J-PAL affiliates and their co-investigators to visit South Asia in order to secure support from potential government partners. Travel grants should ideally aim towards supporting a future pilot study proposal or a full research project proposal. The initiative also accepts travel/proposal development grant proposals from eligible participants, including graduate PhD students advised by J-PAL affiliates, on a rolling-basis outside of the RFP cycle.  \n2. Pilot Studies: These grants are limited to a maximum amount of $67,500 . Pilots are defined as studies with a clear research question, but require piloting for one or more of the following  \na. the design and implementation of an evaluation requires further testing, pilot data, and/or partnership development;  \nb. the feasibility of some aspect of cash transfer program design has not yet been demonstrated under “real world” conditions.  \n3. Full Evaluations: These grants are for full randomized evaluations at a mature stage of development. Not only must the research question be clear, but applicants must also demonstrate a strong partnership commitment from a partner government, a robust randomization design, a theory of change, well-defined research instruments, and sample size estimates. An important criterion for proposal evaluation is the improvement of child health outcomes.  \n III. Researcher Eligibility   \nThe network of eligible applicants for CaTCH includes all J-PAL affiliates, J-PAL post-docs, and a specially invited group of researchers specializing in cash transfers that have been pre-approved to participate in CaTCH. Proposals may include collaborators outside of this network but the principal investigator (PI) must be a J-PAL affiliate or CaTCH special invitee. If you have questions regarding your eligibility to participate, please send an email to the CaTCH Initiative at [CaTCH@povertyactionlab.org](CaTCH@povertyactionlab.org. Additionally)[. Additionally](CaTCH@povertyactionlab.org.
