China International Development Research Network (CIDRN)
Research Fund

Call for Proposals– Deadline 30 December 2013

With rapid economic growth and increasing scale of its foreign aid, China’s role in international development has received increasing attention in the world. However, current research is not sufficient to meet the required policy needs. There is growing interest from the international development community to understand the Chinese foreign aid system and at the same time, from Chinese decision-makers, as well as academics, to understand more about OECD countries’ aid experience. There is a knowledge gap in China about how China carries out its foreign aid and how the international community implements its development assistance programmes.

The aim of the China and International Development Research Grant is to generate high-quality, original academic research that supports effective Government policy. Research funded by the grant will benefit from dissemination through the CIDRN and, through the links established by CIDRN, will reach government and international audiences as well.
