The deadline for calling for a comprehensive program of systematic research in inflation and subsequely uploading the letter of ierest in the Kuiper system was extended by the National Science Foundation of Iran uil December 27, 1403.
According to RCO News Agency, High inflation has destructive effects on the economy. This phenomenon increases uncertaiy and unpredictability in the economy, reduces the purchasing power of citizens and increases speculation activities, and in turn, by disrupting the allocation of resources, reduces the motivation of economic ages to invest. On the other hand, in addition to economic effects, high inflation can also cause harmful social effects such as increasing inequality and class gap.
Although inflation has always been one of the topics studied in economics, it still has many unknown dimensions, especially in developing couries. An iegrated approach to this issue, with an emphasis on the participation of stakeholders and in a systemic approach (framework), seems very promising. Therefore, the inclusion of diverse expertise for problem solving, planning and collaborative decision-making is emphasized. Therefore, conducting basic research in this field with a systemic approach in order to accurately understand the structure of inflation in the coury and provide policy proposals to corol it is a priority.
Priority areas
The National Science Foundation of Iran (INSF) believes in the involveme of a diverse range of expertise and economic and non-economic perspectives in facing the problem of inflation, a strategic decision to support the researches of the “Comprehensive Inflation Program” as one of the “Comprehensive Research Programs Related to Policy Actions” is on the agenda. In order to operationalize this comprehensive program, the Science Foundation has broken this program io a series of ierconnected projects.
The call of the National Science Foundation of Iran regarding the use of the capacity of the expert community in order to guide the comprehensive inflation program
In order to carry out targeted and systematic “comprehensive research programs related to policy measures”, the National Science Foundation of Iran iends to establish a “guidance and guidance ceer” (Seal) to manage the proposed calls to support the researches of the “comprehensive inflation program” as a specialized arm of To create a foundation. This approach brings significa benefits to the successful iegration and implemeation of the comprehensive program. In the prese project, this ceer is called the guidance and manageme ceer for systematic research in inflation (Moharsim).
In this regard, the National Science Foundation of Iran (INSF) has invited scieific-research institutions and reputable research ceers to submit their proposals for the establishme of a “Systematic Research Ceer for Inflation (Mohersim)” with the main mission of attracting the participation of stakeholders and emphasizing Provide on iegration. Mehresim will lead the comprehensive program on behalf of the foundation, ensure the effective cooperation of all stakeholders, manage subseque calls for proposals for comprehensive program projects, and ensure the iegration of the results and the iegration of the achievemes of the various projects of the comprehensive program. will achieve

Note 1: The eight key responsibilities outlined here cover a wide range of aspects critical to effective stakeholder engageme. However, depending on specific needs or nuances during the implemeation of the comprehensive program, the Foundation may assume additional responsibilities if aligned with its goals in the future. For example, if there are specific thematic areas in inflation that require specialized atteion, the foundation could add a key responsibility related to thematic expertise or targeted research focus.

Importa items
1- Manageme of the call for proposals of comprehensive program projects and the iegration of sub-projects:
Objective: The design and manageme of the proposed calls under the comprehensive program is the possibility of flexibility to break down the projects io sub-projects by ensuring their iegrity.
Mehrsim not only manages the calls for proposals according to the comprehensive plan, but also facilitates the scieific review and breaking of larger projects io manageable sub-projects and sub-projects. Mehrsim will work closely with projects that lead to the discovery of opportunities for collaboration, synergy and efficie data sharing among sub-projects that will ultimately coribute to a cohere and iegrated understanding of inflation. This responsibility emphasizes the importance of consistency in project manageme to achieve the overall objectives of the comprehensive program.
2- Young researchers recruitme program for sub-projects:
Objective: To encourage young professors to actively participate in the comprehensive program by issuing calls for sub-projects, strengthening team formation and dynamic collaboration.
Mehrsim recognizes the importance of nurturing the next generation of economic leaders. This ceer will organize special workshops for young researchers from the coury’s professors to prese their project ideas. The process of submitting proposals by young researchers and their selection is done quickly and provides an agile platform for young researchers to showcase their tales, form ierdisciplinary teams and participate in the comprehensive program.
3- Coaching program:
Purpose: To provide effective guidance and guidance in Mehrsim to support young professors, project leaders and stakeholders involved in the comprehensive inflation program.
Mehrsim is committed to fostering a culture of coaching and coinuous learning. The ceer will establish a key meoring activity where experienced professors will collaborate with young researchers and project leaders. The purpose of this key activity is to provide guidance, share insights and facilitate knowledge transfer in the field of inflation coainme. Meors at Mehrsim will support subproject design, data analysis, and ierdisciplinary collaboration, providing a collaborative and supportive research environme. Through coinuous monitoring, Mehrsim creates workshops and networking eves and meoring opportunities that coribute to the professional developme and success of young people involved in the comprehensive program.
4- Analytical frame
Objective: The application of the complex network as a scieific reference is to ensure the involveme of a wide range of stakeholders.
