    Colleagues,
    I wanted to pass along this RFP from the Kauffman Foundation for the 2020 Knowledge Challenge.  https://rfp.kauffman.org/prog/2020_kauffman_knowledge_challenge/

    The Knowledge Challenge is designed to support projects that can provide actionable knowledge around four focus areas:
    • What strategies can entrepreneurs use to start and grow a business?
    • How can entrepreneurs find, recruit, manage, and resource talent in an increasingly digital world?
    • What local conditions of ecosystems drive entrepreneurial outcomes?
    • How does entrepreneurship affect equality and mobility, and what policies shape the relationship?

    The deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. Feb. 5, 2020.

    As you might know, the GDO division has been working with the Kauffman Foundation on our Gender, Diversity, and Entrepreneurship Awards (see here: https://gdo.aom.org/awards/new-item2), and the Foundation is supporting some of our work at the AOM conference with doctoral students. 

    Please submit questions about the RFP to knowledgechallenge@kauffman.org.

    Thanks.
