AUCC has signed an agreement with IDRC for the management of the Canada Africa Research Exchange Grants.
As part of this two-year pilot, IDRC aims to fund 7-8 grants worth a maximum of $40,000 each to support short-term exchanges between Canadian and African universities and research institutes that address IDRC research themes (health is included). Partner institutions are expected to contribute at least one-third of the total cost of the project as part of CAREG’s cost-sharing requirements
As well as joint research activities, the program will also provide some support to activities aimed at improving student training at the graduate level.
Deadline June 30, 2010.
