Description: |
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. The Fund promotes joint working relationships between Canadian and developing country organizations. Effective relationships require a clear description of roles and responsibilities (who will be involved, where, when, with what intensity, and for what specific purpose or end). It is expected that the research project will have one or more principal investigators (PIs) based in Canada and one or more in an eligible country or countries, and that they will be responsible for joint research administration. |
