USAID Scientific Research Policy
The purpose of this document is to consolidate, in one convenient reference, operational policies of particular relevance to the design and management of research activities. This document also fills important operational policy gaps, especially on subjects such as scientific peer review, quality standards for research plans and reports, open data, and scientific publication.
Many of these policies exist in the Automated Directives System (ADS). While avoiding restating these policies, this document references them and, where necessary, provides further guidance on matters that frequently arise in the conduct of research.
