Overview
Since 1982, IDRC has assisted Canadian graduate students to undertake their thesis research in the field of international development. IDRC Doctoral Research Awards are intended to promote the growth of Canadian and developing-country capacity in research on sustainable and equitable development from an international perspective.
These awards are intended for field research in one or more developing countries. Research proposals that include comparative research between a developing country and Canada or have a Canadian component, even if it is not a comparative research, will not be considered for this competition. Candidates should apply for a Canadian Window on International Development Award for support of comparative research that must be a part of their degree program.
In principle, IDRC supports research on all parts of the developing regions of the world. At this time, Fellowships and Awards is not supporting awards which involve research in Burma, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Eastern Europe or Central Asia.
Eligible Fields of Study
Applications will be accepted for research at the doctoral level in areas corresponding to IDRC's research priorities. IDRC's research activities focus on four program areas:
•Social and Economic Policy
•Environment and Natural Resource Management
•Information and Communication Technologies for Development
•Innovation, Policy and Science
Eligibility
•Hold Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status in Canada, or hold a citizenship of a developing country;
•Be enrolled in a doctoral program at a Canadian university;
•Research proposal is for a doctoral thesis and has been approved by the thesis supervisor;
•Proposed field research will take place in a developing country;
•Provide evidence of affiliation with an institution or organization in the region in which the research will take place;
•Have completed course work and passed comprehensive examinations by the time of award tenure.
Duration
Award tenure corresponds to a period of field research, which will be no less than 3 consecutive months and, in general, no more than 12 months.
Value
The award will cover justifiable field research expenses to a maximum of CA$20,000 per year.
Number of Awards
Variable
Deadline
November 1, 2010 (awards will be announced in May 2011).
April 1, 2011 (awards will be announced in September 2011).
Applications
Applications will be evaluated according to criteria, such as relevance to sustainable and equitable development and to IDRC priorities, quality of the research proposal, and suitability of the candidate.
Re-applicants, whose research proposal was reviewed and was unsuccessful, must explain, in a covering letter, what changes have been made since the last application and specify where to find the changes in the proposal. Please note that Centre policy stipulates that an individual cannot apply more than twice, if unsuccessful, for the same IDRC award. However, this policy does not apply to Internship Awards.
Candidates may apply for a renewal of funding for a second year of field work if the nature of the research requires a second season of data collection. Renewals are an exception and are provided for those disciplines that may need to deal with the uncertainties of growing seasons and climatic characteristics that affect data collection.
If there are ethical questions connected with the research, the applicant may, at IDRC's discretion, be required to submit the appropriate approval from the Ethic's Committee of the University.
Please submit all documents listed in the Checklist of documents to be submitted by candidates. Complete applications must be received at the Centre by the deadline. Incomplete applications will NOT be considered for the competition. Applications must be sent to the following address:
