Description: |
AUCC recently signed an agreement with IDRC for the management of the CAREG program. As part of this two-year pilot, IDRC aims to fund 7-8 grants worth a maximum of $40,000 each to support short-term exchanges between Canadian and African universities and research institutes that address IDRC research themes. Partner institutions are expected to contribute at least one-third of the total cost of the project as part of CAREG?s cost-sharing requirements. Applications must be developed jointly by the African and Canadian partner institutions and they must demonstrate that the proposed research and training activities contribute to the CAREG program?s objectives and expected results Applications must be developed jointly by the African and Canadian partner institutions and they must demonstrate that the proposed research and training activities contribute to the CAREG program?s objectives and expected results. Support through this program must be cost-shared on a 2:1 ratio by IDRC and the partner institutions, respectively. In other words, partner institutions must make a cash or in-kind contribution to cover at least one-third of the total cost of the project. All partners are expected to contribute. |
