Integrated Programmes

[Deze tekst is voorlopig alleen in het Engels beschikbaar]

The Integrated Programme (IP) scheme is aimed at supporting excellent problem-oriented interdisciplinary research to the benefit of development and societal issues in the South. The research should lead to new insights, applications, theories or breakthroughs in current knowledge or understanding while addressing developmental issues:

• fitting into WOTRO’s thematic framework, inspired by international agendas, notably the UN Millennium Development Goals (see Annex I): (A) Poverty and Hunger; (B) Sustainable Environment; (C) Global Relationships;
• in a broad sense, touching upon topics or problem areas that are not covered under the Millennium Development Goals, in which WOTRO especially seeks proposals that go beyond mainstream discourse and practice of development and research for development.

An IP has to be a collaborative initiative of researchers from the Netherlands (NL) and from one or more developing countries (DC). Developing countries include all low and middle-income non-EU countries that qualify for receiving Official Development Assistance (ODA), as defined by the OECD (see www.oecd.org/dac/stats/daclist) . DC researchers and relevant stakeholders from outside the scientific community are expected to be engaged in all phases of the programme, from the inception phase to the sharing of emerging results.

Wie kan aanvragen

Applications must be formally submitted by a senior researcher with a PhD degree, employed by a NWO recognised grant recipient or by an international centre for scientific education based in the Netherlands. A senior researcher from the partner organisation in the developing country concerned with a PhD degree should be the co-applicant and a member of the coordinating team.

Wat kan aangevraagd worden

The financial support (maximum budget € 700,000) concerns research and personnel costs (salary and / or living allowance), as well as costs for joint programme activities.

• preliminary proposals 
• full proposals 

Wanneer kan aangevraagd worden

No new round is currently foreseen.

Extra Informatie

Please note: from 1 January 2009 onwards, a proposal that was not accepted in a previous round may be resubmitted only once.

Furthermore, it should be noted that proposals addressing the theme Global Health and Health Systems are no longer supported by the IP scheme. For this theme, a thematic programme has been launched. Applicants are referred to calls under the Global Health Policy and Health Systems research programme.

Criteria

The applications are evaluated on the scientific quality, as well as on development relevance and the quality of international collaboration. The description of the selection criteria can be found in the brochure, which will be availble at the opening of the call.
