Canadian Window on International Development Awards, Canada

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

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. 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.

Special Feature of this Award
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; and
* 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.

Two Types of Canadian Window on International Development Awards

1) 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.

2) A second award will be granted for doctoral or master’s research into a problem that is common to First Nations or Inuit communities in Canada and a developing region of the world.

Eligibility
Applicants must:
* Hold Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status in Canada, or hold a citizenship of a developing country;
* Be registered at a Canadian university;
* Be conducting the proposed research for a doctoral or Master’s dissertation;
* Must have completed course work and passed comprehensive examinations by the time of the award tenure.

Please note: Master’s level students are only eligible to apply for the award pertaining to research into the First Nations or Inuit communities and a developing country.
