Call for Research Concept Notes on Food Security, Climate Change and Natural Resource Management in Cambodia

Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) supports research in developing countries to promote growth and development. The result is innovative, lasting local solutions that aim to bring choice and
change to those who need it most.

The Learning Institute and IDRC are seeking concepts for a limited number of research grants each valued from USD40,000 to USD70,000 for a duration of up to eighteen months.

The purpose of this call is to support development research that can provide options to strengthen the ability of vulnerable groups and communities to adapt and cope with food insecurity and climate change. The research will focus on two interlinking issues: land use change and water use and governance.

The deadline to receive brief research concept notes is January 15th, 2011, 5pm.

We appreciate your help in forwarding this information to other research colleagues. Applications must be submitted by a Cambodian organization or institution; individuals are not eligible to apply for this call for research concept notes.
