The Economic Globalisation, Growth and HIV/AIDS Initiative

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:

Theme 1: Exploring how HIV/AIDS interacts with efforts to facilitate inclusive or pro-poor growth strategies

Theme 2: 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.

Please see the Call for Letters of Intent for full details.
