Small Grants for  “Enabling Bio-Innovations for Poverty Alleviation in Asia”
Deadline for submission of Letters of Intent - 31 March.

“To enhance biological innovative capabilities, policies, and
institutions to support just, equitable and sustainable social and
economic development in developing countries”

The Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok, with support from
Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) has launched
in February 2009 a small grants competition program to tackle
bio-innovation and its social and policy implications for poverty
alleviation in the Asian Region.

Selected research projects will last for 12 months and will focus
mainly on bio-innovations demonstrated to be directly relevant to the
social phenomenon of poverty – whether alleviating, worsening or
creating new forms of poverty. The scope of poverty is further
narrowed down to two important areas: on poor people’s livelihoods and
basic health.
