Agropolis is a new awards programme that supports innovative master’s and doctoral level research. It aims to add to the body of knowledge of urban and peri-urban agriculture and thereby to support interventions that address critical areas in the industry. The programme supports graduate-level field research that is designed and implemented in collaboration with non-academic partners. As the end-users of the research these international, national, or local partners will be actively engaged in sectors of development in which urban agriculture can make a contribution. These partners can include, for example, community based organizations, city councils and departments, national governments, bi- and multi-trained and supervised researchers.

The award will cover justifiable field research expenses to a maximum of Cdn$20,000 per year. Award tenure corresponds to the period of field research, normally no less than 3 months and no more than 12 months. First time successful applicants may apply for a renewal of funding for a second year of field research. Up to 14 awards will be granted annually, with at least 5 awards supporting field research at the master’s level. Successful applicants will form partnerships with international experts and institutions and will be closely monitored by the programme while in the field. Selected results from completed research will be established by Agropolis.

SELECTION & FUNDING

An international selection committee will review proposals and select successful candidates. The committee will be composed of experts representing a variety of fields and regions of the world. Agropolis is a component of the Global Initiative of the Support Group on Urban Agriculture (SGUA) sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAQ) the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) the Netherlands Development Agency (NEDA) and IDRC. Agropolis is currently funded and managed by IDRC on behalf of the SGUA. IDRC will report annually on the programme to the SGUA’a Steering committee.

ELIGIBILITY

Agropolis is intended primarily for researchers from developing countries including those studying in a developed country and returning to the South after their studies. At least 2/3rds of all awards will be granted to the applicants who have citizenship or permanent resident status in a developing country. Up to 1/3 of all awards may be granted to citizens or permanent residents of a developed country (currently only Canada). The research must be for a master’s or doctoral thesis. Researchers must be registered at a university in the South or North that has training and supervisory expertise in the field of or relevant to urban agriculture.

Applicants must be affiliated with an institution of higher learning in the region where the field research will take place and must be supervised in the field by a qualified resident expert.

The bursaries allow persons who are northern residents and in need of financial assistance to engage in an educational experience at a degree-granting institution (college or university) anywhere in Canada. It is the objective of these bursaries to permit individuals with broad northern experience to undertake short-term* or long-term college or university studies in fields of concern to them personally, as well as to other people in the North. It is expected that this educational experience will be flexible.

Such a program should outline in specific and manageable terms the individual's goals and objectives, and be compatible with the time and commitment which the bursary holders will give as an undertaking. It is desirable that the recipient have a sponsor in the university who will take responsibility for developing and directing the study program. It is hoped that successful applicants will be able to act as resource persons in the academic institutions they are visiting, and that their specific knowledge of northern issues and conditions will be made available to both students and staff.

The deadline for applications is generally January and awards will be announced in April of that year. All applicants will be notified by mail. Application sent by fax or email will not be accepted.
