The Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC) has announced a new funding opportunity under the 2012-2013 Small Grants for Innovative Research and Knowledge Sharing as part of the Canadian Partnerships Small Grants Programme.
These grants are open to local, regional, national, and international organizations incorporated and headquartered in Canada that produce or share knowledge for development. Individuals may not apply. Organizations new to IDRC are encouraged to apply.

These grants will support proposals that fit with one or more of CP’s identified outcome areas:
- Strong collaboration in research and knowledge-sharing among Canadian institutions and with counterparts in LMICs
- Increased contribution of Canadian collaborative research and knowledge to policy and practice of development actors
- Improved capacity of Canadian institutions to learn from their experiences and to share lessons with others
