Like the award of the Nobel prize itself, this is no surprise, but it is fantastic news. BDK have worked to make it possible for younger (and older!) scholars to build on their research. Their dedication to learning is an inspiration. https://t.co/EZ4Q0cO7sC

Thanks @DaveEvansPhD for the shoutout to #DIVUSAID (@GlobalDevLab). DIV has been a critical supporter of the @JPAL's policy team's work to translate research into change at scale. From Teaching at the Right Level (@TaRL_Africa) to immunization in India, DIV has been essential.
