IDRC offers these research awards annually to
Canadians, permanent residents of Canada, and citizens of developing countries
pursuing master's or doctoral studies at a recognized university or having
completed a master’s or doctoral program at a recognized university.
As a research award recipient, you will undertake a one-year paid program of research on the topic you submitted when competing for the award. During part of the time (often around 50%), you will be trained in research management through hands-on experience with your chosen program. You will be mentored by an IDRC staff member.
Who can apply
The program is aimed at candidates who, through demonstrated achievements in academic studies, work, or research, have shown interest in creating and using knowledge from an international perspective.
To be eligible, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be
a citizen or permanent resident of Canada, or a citizen of a developing
country.
- Be
either currently enrolled at a recognized university at the master's or
doctoral level or have completed a masters or doctoral degree at a
recognized university. These awards may be part of an academic
requirement.
- Your
proposed research must focus on one or more developing countries.
This competition is for positions starting
in early 2014.
Research awards are normally held for 12 months.
They are tenable, on a full-time basis, for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum
of 12. They normally start in January and must be completed by the end of
December.
Number of awards
The number of awards varies each year.
Approximately 16 awards will be offered in 2014.
