Within the framework of Danish development cooperation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark hereby invites Phase 1 applications (prequalification) for research grants related to development research.
The objective of the support is to generate new knowledge and strengthen research capacity in order to promote the overall objective of the Danish development cooperation to reduce poverty and support sustainable development.
Grants will be awarded to strategic research cooperation which generates new knowledge relevant to the needs and strategies of developing countries and to Denmark’s development cooperation, and contributes to strengthening research capacity in developing countries. Capacity strengthening is understood as research-based education, e.g. support to Ph.D. students.
Research projects should be carried out as collaborative research between Danish and South-based research institutions with a priority on institutions in Africa.
Focus is on applied research. Product development and demonstration projects are not eligible for funding. Importance is attached to proposals where research activities will be carried out in an interdisciplinary interaction among different fields of research. The private sector can participate with proposals and in such cases companies and institutions are expected to contribute with additional resources to the research.
