Funding opportunities
RPE_map_bitmap_sm.jpg

This section includes specific instructions for funding applications to the Rural Poverty and Environment (RPE) program, reviewing criteria, current calls, and geographic focus.

The majority of the Program Initiative’s funding, and IDRC’s in general, is provided for who are usually associated with research institutions, rather than individuals. Individuals seeking funds for training purposes should visit the website of the IDRC Training and Awards Unit to familiarise themselves with the different training awards offered by the Centre: www.idrc.ca/awards 

Updates

The RPE program is in the last year of its current 2005-2010 prospectus. New and exciting priorities are being developed in what will be the next 5-year period starting on April 1, 2010. Please monitor the RPE website for news on new programming and funding opportunities. In the meantime, we will fund only a limited number of projects for the remainder of the year (until March 31, 2010). Researchers should first contact the relevant Program Officer or Research Officer, as outlined below, BEFORE submitting concept notes. 

Call for Proposals

The Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (CIFSRF)

The CIFSRF is a 5-year program that funds a wide variety of applied research projects that aims to solve immediate and concrete food security challenges on the ground in the developing world. The goal of the CIFSRF is to promote more productive and sustainable agricultural systems that make food more secure and nutritious. The CIFSRF funds partnerships between research organizations in Canada and in the developing world.
