Overview
The objective of the support is to generate knowledge to promote the overall objective of the Danish development assistance to reduce poverty. Grants will be awarded to projects generating new knowledge relevant to Denmark’s development assistance and contribute to solving the problems of developing countries. It is further important that the research contributes to the enhancement of the research capacity within developing countries, and that it is driven by the countries’ own demands and strategies.
The Consultative Research Committee for Development Research (FFU) is appointed by the Danish Minister for Development Cooperation and for 2010 the FFU has identified 3 research themes.
Research themes for 2010
In 2010, the following research themes are of particular interest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of their relevance to development.
Theme 1: Climate, Energy and Sustainable Use of Natural Resources
Theme 2: Agriculture, Growth and Sustainable Development
Theme 3: Fragile states, Conflict and Civil Society
Types of grants
The applications can only be submitted by an organisation, such as a governmental institution, business enterprise or private organisation in Denmark. The main applicant must be attached to the Danish organisation, which will be responsible for the approved project.
Applications can be submitted for funding to the following types of grants in 2010 primarily within the themes of the year 2010:

Deadline for individual PhD and postdoc applications will be Friday 12 February 2010 at 12.00 noon.
Priority will be given to larger strategic research projects/programmes with joint collaboration between several Danish institutions and partners in the South.
The incorporation of PhD educations and post-doc. projects into larger research programmes instead of their submission as individual applications will be favoured.
For larger research projects, grant applications may generally be submitted for phases of 3-5 year durations. The plan is to support a total of 4-6 large projects for a 3-5 year period.
PhD educations to students from partner countries can only be supported if they are part of a larger strategic project and, if possible, are enrolled at an institution in their own country, as described in the guide to applicants.
In the case of individual Danish PhD applications, grant funding may be sought for a maximum timeframe of 3 years.
Application requirements
Grants under theme 1 and 2 will only be awarded to research programmes with developing countries below the GNI threshold set by the World Bank (USD 2.570 per capita 2008) and will primarily be awarded towards research in Danish programme countries.
Grants under theme 3 can also be awarded to non-programme countries but only to countries where Denmark supports other types of development activities.
The main applicant researcher (except for individual PhD applicants, see below) must at the time of submitting the application hold a PhD or equivalent qualification. Applications for individual PhD projects must have completed a Masters degree at the time of submitting the application.
The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has outsourced the administration of the support to development research to Danida Fellowship Centre (DFC). The requirements regarding the applications as well as the application procedure, formats and assessment criteria are described in the guide to applicants.
