Support the development of analytical models to examine how macro-level shifts influence funding demand. Analyze historical Trust Fund application data to identify longer-term shifts in funding priorities, responses, and risks. Develop a draft analytical paper summarizing key findings and prepare presentation materials for leadership and donor engagement.
