Description: |
The Canada-Latin America and the Caribbean Research Exchange Grants (LACREG) program has been managed by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) with financial support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). This program seeks to strengthen international partnerships and consolidate emerging networks among academic researchers from Canada and Latin America and the Caribbean. These partnerships and networks will serve the development process in one or more IDRC thematic areas of priority. Applications can be submitted by the Canadian, Latin American or Caribbean research partner. Support through this program must be cost-shared on a 2:1 ratio by the Program and the partner institutions, respectively. Under this agreement, partner institutions must make a cash or in-kind contribution to cover at least one third of the total cost. A selection committee will review all complete, eligible proposals received by the October 6, 2011 deadline. The committee will be composed of at least three experts from Canada and Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as a representative of IDRC. |
