Two\u00a0York students are in the spotlight for their innovative research. Sarah Freedman and Brigitte Vaillancourt were recipients of the 2002 CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) Awards for Canadians. Both were recognized in the Innovative Research Awards category.<\/p>\n

Taking\u00a0her master''s degree in environmental studies in fall 2002, Freedman worked on her project entitled \"Risk Perception of Occupational and Non-Occupational Pesticide Exposure and Health Among Costa Rican Women\", in the host country of Costa Rica. Vaillancourt who was taking a masters degree in political science in fall 2002\u00a0was involved in\u00a0her\u00a0project entitled \"Femmes et mondialisation: les effets du retrait des programmes de subvention aux exportations sur l\u2019emploi des femmes dans le secteur agroalimentaire\",\u00a0in the host country of South Africa.<\/p>\n

To qualify for the awards, their projects had to address one or more of CIDA\u2019s six development priorities which are: basic human needs; gender equality; infrastructure services; human rights, democracy and good governance; private sector development; and the environment.<\/p>\n

Freedman\u2019s and Vaillancourt\u2019s projects were selected partly on the basis of over-all merit, including their contribution for the capacity-building of the host organization\/country and their relevance in terms of meeting CIDA\u2019s development priorities; participation of local women in the proposed activities; the applicant\u2019s qualifications, professional experience, personal suitability, academic excellence, intercultural awareness and language skills; and strength of support given to the proposed project by the supporting organization and the advisor.<\/p>\n

The CIDA Awards for Canadians program is administered by the Canadian Bureau for International Education. For more information on the program visit the Web site at http:\/\/www.cbie.ca\/cida\/main_e.html<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
