Support for Projects

IR&D provides assistance to faculty and/or units interested in becoming involved in international project work.  Staff at IR&D have experience in working with major donor agencies and in the design and delivery of international projects.  We can offer significant assistance in the following areas:

• Identification of project opportunities and funding sources
• Project design
• Project proposal development (both narrative and budgetary sections)
• Liaison with donor agency personnel regarding funding processes
• Advice on project delivery, implementation and management issues

University members interested in pursuing external support for international projects are encouraged to contact IR&D at the earliest stages of project development. 

IR&D also facilitates Dalhousie's participation in externally-funded student mobility and youth internship programs.  Ongoing opportunities include:

• Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC)'s International Academic Mobility (IAM) Programs:
• Canada-EU Program for Cooperation in Higher Education and Training
• Program for North American Mobility in Higher Education (NAMHE)
• Academic exchange opportunities funded by the Dept. of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT)
• CIDA’s International Youth Internship Program (IYIP)
• AUCC’s Students for Development program, funded by CIDA

Faculty members interested in any of these mobility and internship programs should contact IR&D for more information.
