Canadian International Food Security Research Fund: Call for Proposals from Existing Partnerships
OTROS PAíS NO ESPECIFICADO, En línea Del 15-03-2010 al 15-03-2010
Limited, Competitive Call for Proposals from Existing Partnerships IDRC is pleased to announce this call for proposals for the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund from organizations already working on research in partnership with each other. The deadline for submission of proposals for this call is March 15, 2010. The call is intended to result in support for applied research. Basic or purely theoretical research will not be considered. Research that situates technology development in a farming system’s approach leading to development outcomes will be given priority. Such an approach requires the sound assessment of environmental impact and the integration of social and gender variables. The limited, competitive call for proposals is aimed at organizations that are already working on research in partnership with each other. This call seeks proposals of limited duration (12 to 24 months), with a budget between CAD 750,000 and CAD 1,000,000, for new activities from existing partnerships. Proposals should present new initiatives, building on current or recent research activities (carried out within the last 3 years, since Feb. 12, 2007) through an existing research partnership, ready to be implemented immediately and with a high possibility of producing results within 12 to 24 months. Open to applicant organizations that will work in partnership with each other to carry out research in one of the eligible countries. Each partnership must be between two or more organizations, at least one of which must be a Canadian organization, and at least one of which must be an organization based in one of the eligible countries in the South. Organizations may be academic institutions, private sector organizations with a research mandate, civil society organizations, or research-based organizations. The research must take place in an eligible country. Multilateral organizations (such as UN organizations and the CGIAR) and Canadian federal government agencies may not apply as applicant organizations, but may be included in applications by others, as third-party organizations.
