Dear Open Spending community:

[With apologies for cross posting; please distribute widely.]

Announcing two Calls for Proposals on open budget data research.

The Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency (GIFT) is commissioning 
two research projects which you or your network may find of interest.

Open Budget Data Current State of Affairs: Call for Proposals
This research effort, both a landscape (existing practices and research) 
and assessment (identification of gaps and opportunities in the practice 
and research), will compile existing practices related to the use of 
open budget data as it relates to the delivery of public services and 
overall engagement with public stakeholders.

using open budget data in innovative ways to connect with the public, 
CSOs, academics, and the media.
