This call offers two types of funding:
1) Support to events and to small dissemination activities and products.
Events, usually conferences, workshops, and dialogues. Events must be hosted in large part by one or more Canadian organizations. Grants are often used to support the active participation of people from low- and middle-income countries (e.g., as speakers); grants are generally not used to support the participation of Canadians or people from high-income countries.
Dissemination activities and products. Requests for journal support should outline opportunities for IDRC content or demonstrate over 50% Southern authorship. Requests for dissemination activities and products should have formal ties to an IDRC-supported project or network.
2) Support to research, knowledge-building, and knowledge-sharing projects.
Value: CAD$1,000 to $15,000 for events and small dissemination-based activities and products. CAD$20,000 to $60,000 for research and knowledge projects. Project duration must not exceed 30 months, including all proposed research activities funded by the grant and final reporting.
