IDRC's Fellowships and Awards Program 2013 Tracer Study : contributions to research, policy, and institutions

Fellowships and Awards (formerly the Training and Awards Program) is the focal point of training within IDRC. By supporting academic study and offering opportunities for hands-on field research experience, IDRC helps countries of the South gain a critical mass of trained and experienced researchers to promote development in their regions, gives young Canadians and citizens of developing countries an opportunity to participate actively in international development, and fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange. This study traces IDRC award recipients between 1995 and 2005 to better understand how recipients perceive the influence of their awards during their mid-careers
