Graduate students from Africa and Canada will have the opportunity to
benefit from $300,000 (CAD) in funding, as the Africa Initiative today
announces a call for applications for the 2012 graduate research grant
program.
Grants of up to $10,000 (CAD) will be awarded to as many as 15 African

field-based research in Africa. Applications for the Africa Initiative
Graduate Research Grant, which can be found online
athttp://www.africaportal.org/exchange, must be submitted by January 15,
2012.
There is already great enthusiasm for the 2012 grant competition, said
Nelson K. Sewankambo, director of the Africa Initiative. The students
who have been participating in the 2011 program are gaining incredible
experience, either by building new networks in Canada or by conducting
important and unique field work with local partners in Africa. Those who
are successful in the 2012 competition will be making an remarkable
contribution to research on Africa.
As part of the Africa Initiative, a joint undertaking by The Centre for
International Governance Innovation (CIGI) in cooperation with Makerere
University and the South African Institute for International Affairs,
the Africa Initiative Graduate Research Grant will give special
consideration to proposals that present new and policy relevant
research, and that cover one or more of the areas of conflict
resolution, energy, food security, health, migration and climate change.
Successful applicants who are currently enrolled in an African
university will spend up to three months at a Canadian university
undertaking research funded by the program. The research will lead to a
major paper to be considered for publishing.
Successful applicants who are currently enrolled in a Canadian
university will spend up to three months in an African country
