Deadline: September 12, 2010

The main goal of the Internship Awards is to provide exposure to research for international development through a program of training in research management and grant administration under the guidance of IDRC program staff. Internships are designed to provide hands-on learning experiences in research program management - in the creation, dissemination and utilization of knowledge from an international perspective.

The interns will undertake a program of research on the topic submitted when competing for the internship award. During a part (often around 50%) of their time, they will be trained in the techniques of research management through hands-on work experience with their chosen program’s programming and practices. They will work under the mentorship of a Program Officer(s).

Internships will be considered for a program of training and research responding to IDRC’s research priorities which focus on five broad Program Areas:

• Social and Economic Policy
• Agriculture and Environment
• Information and Communication Technologies for Development
• Innovation, Policy and Science
• Research for Health Equity
