| Name: | Sustainable agricultural research for international development |
| Initiating organisation | |
| Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council | |
| Description: | BBSRC provides over £200m of funding per year to scientists working in UK universities and in the seven BBSRC-sponsored research institutes. The research will be firmly rooted in the scientific priorities of developing countries and must have demonstrable relevance to the international development agenda for reducing poverty. It is recognized that the research community supported by BBSRC has the ability to make an important contribution in response to this agenda and that there are scientists in the BBSRC community whose research already addresses these issues. The DFID/BBSRC scheme will allow for more flexible funding mechanisms, with the aim of extending the opportunity for existing collaborations as well as encouraging new partnerships. An essential part of the call will be close working collaborations between UK and non-UK countries to address issues of poverty reduction in Africa and South Asia. N/A at present - June 2006 - the fund is still in the process of being set up. |
