The Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division (HEARD) based at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) based in Canada, invite letters of intent
from teams led or co-led by researchers from low- and middle income countries interested in conducting innovative projects exploring the linkages among economic globalisation, growth and HIV/AIDS along two themes:
Exploring how HIV/AIDS interacts with efforts to facilitate inclusive or
pro-poor growth strategies; and exploring the impacts of economic
globalisation and growth on vulnerability and resilience to HIV/AIDS. The
initial funding round will support up to five grants at a maximum of
Canadian$100,000 (approximately US$90,000) each for one- to two-year
projects. The application process is in two stages: letters of intent and
then full proposals. Letters of intent will undergo competitive peer review,
and successful applicants will be provided with Canadian$2,000 to support
development of the full proposal. Full proposals will undergo competitive
peer review. The deadline for application is 1 November 2007.
