4

Scientific knowledge is a driving force for development 5

Science & technology in developing countries Lack of resources Low scientific productivity Absence of recruitment of new scientists Brain drain 6

7

NGO, Research council Stockholm, Sweden International Board of Trustees 1,400 scientific advisers (helping young scientists on a voluntary basis) 6600 to 6800 grants in more than 100 developing countries 8

Our Mission Strengthen the scientific capacity to conduct research related to biological and waterresources. 9

Research fields supported Natural and Social Sciences 10

Our strategy Identify young promising scientists support them at the beginning of their careers 11

Our programme IFS Research Grant (max USD 12,000) (research 1-3 years) (Could be renewed twice) 12

Our programme (cont.) Travel grants Publication Grants Purchasing services Workshops and training Scientific contacts & participation in networks (mentoring programme) Awards programme 13

Eligibility Criteria Developing country Under 40 years Research on biological and water resource base ≤ Masters degree, enrolled PhD Attached to a national university, research institution, or NGO in a developing country Carrying out the project in a developing country 14

Competitive Grant 1500 applications per year (including revised) External Review by scientific advisers and experts Deliberation by a Scientific Advisory Committee grants per year 15

Evaluation criteria Well-formulated research question Sound experimental design/methods Likely to produce new knowledge Relevant to local priorities and needs Applicant's training and experience etc. (see Gastel’s lecture) 16

Applying for a Research Grant at IFS NOTE: Currently there is only special calls for application. IFS is in a process of envisioning its future direction in supporting reseachers in developing countries. 17

Pre-screening of Application Different outcome of applications: Not accepted (negatively) Not accepted (positively) Pending Accepted for External Review ~1000 applications/year (out of 1500) will be sent for external review 18

Outcomes Literature review Research results Articles in scientific journals International conference Promotion, PhD 27

“I’ve been recognized as a good researcher, my papers have been published and I’ve got a very good response from the readers. The IFS grant has served as a platform for me and enabled me to get into bigger projects.” 28

Impact of IFS grants (according to IFS impact studies) Keep research careers alive Give a certain independence Access other funding sources Increased scientific productivity 29

IFS Grantees (according to IFS impact studies) Become scientific leaders in their community and established member of the international scientific community 30

Conclusions IFS grant opens the door to the international scientific community and makes a difference in researchers’ careers 31
