Description: |
These awards reflect the fact that the boundaries between international development policy and domestic policy increasingly parallel similar problems in developing countries so that both Canada and the less developed countries benefit from research on these issues. The complexities of national economic and social development in Canada are increasingly evident, and are often related to international issues. Similarly Canadian trade, investment, immigration and other policies often affect development in less developed countries. These awards will support research that illustrates these interrelationships. The award will cover justifiable field research expenses up to CA$20,000 a year. The budget covers one return trip from the home base of the applicant to the research site in Canada and one return trip to the developing country. It also covers housing, food, insurance, travel within the country(ies) of research, and several field research expenses. The award does not support expenses related to your relatives, spouse or children, nor living expenses incurred in Canada at your home base |

Application Details: |
Successful candidates will propose comparative research requiring data from both Canada and a developing country to better understand the common, interrelated problem/issue, identified by the applicant. Selection will favor proposals that demonstrate:
- the relevance of the research topic for Canada and for the developing country or countries being studied;
- the close linkage between the international and national component of the topic.
Successful proposals will also identify the potential for Canada and the developing country to learn from one another in dealing with the shared problem or issue.
IDRC offers one award for doctoral research that explores the relationship between Canadian aid, trade, immigration, diplomatic policy, etc, and international development and the alleviation of global poverty. A second award will be granted for doctoral or master's comparative research into a problem that is common to First Nations or Inuit communities in Canada and a developing region of the world. Complete two forms: the checklist and the application form. You must also provide all the documents requested in the checklist. There is a letter of approval template on the Sponsor website for the research supervisor. Your application must be complete, submitted electronically, and received at the Centre by the deadline. Incomplete applications will NOT be considered.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM. |
