External Review: Canadian Collaboration for Innovative Research and Knowledge Sharing Examen externe : Collaboration du Canada pour l'exécution d'activités novatrices de recherche et de mise en commun des connaissances The Canadian Collaboration for Innovative Research and Knowledge Sharing competitive call was launched for the first time in the Fall of 2015. The call is for one $1million grant to a Canadian civil society organization (or consortium) to carry out research with Canadian and/or low- and middle-income country institutions in an area of direct relevance to IDRC's mandate and current strategic priorities. This research support project will allow the Foundations for Innovation program to hire an external reviewer to assist in the shortlisting of the submissions to the call and in the final selection and ranking of the best ones. The winning proposal will be approved by senior Branch management, chosen from among top-ranking ones recommended by the Foundations for Innovation review team. Le premier appel à propositions de Collaboration du Canada pour l'exécution d'activités novatrices de recherche et de mise en commun des connaissances a été lancé à l'automne 2015. L'organisation de la société civile canadienne (ou le consortium) retenue recevra une subvention d'un million de dollars pour effectuer des recherches avec des institutions canadiennes ou des institutions de pays à revenu faible ou moyen dans un domaine lié directement au mandat du CRDI et aux priorités stratégiques actuelles.
