2006 Canada-Latin America-Caribbean Research Exchange Grants
(LACREG)

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) is pleased to announce the launch of the 2006 Canada-Latin America-Caribbean Research Exchange Grants (LACREG) program. This program has been managed by the AUCC with financial support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) since 1995.

The purpose of this program is to strengthen international partnerships and consolidate emerging networks among academic researchers from Canada and Latin America and the Caribbean. It is designed to support small collaborative research activities which will contribute to the creation, dissemination and sustained application of knowledge for the development process in at least one area of IDRC thematic priority.

Although AUCC is quite confident that program funding will soon be confirmed, please note that research grants for successful recipients are contingent upon final funding confirmation by IDRC.

Priority themes: Environment and natural resource management; information and communication technologies for development; and social and economic policy.

Eligibility: The program applies to the following countries: Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Value: Support through this program will be cost-shared on a 2:1 ratio by the program and the partner institutions, respectively. The maximum value of each grant under this program will be $6,500 CDN.

Deadline: March 31, 2006 by 4 p.m. EST

For program guidelines (available in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish) and additional information regarding the application process, please visit the AUCC website at the following address:
