>======================
>
>CALL FOR PROPOSALS THE THIRD RESEARCH ON KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS (ROKS)COMPETITION
>DEADLINE: MARCH 26
>
>"Understanding the Social and Public Policy Dimensions of Transformative
>Technologies in the South"
>
>The Research on Knowledge Systems (RoKS) initiative of the International
>Development Research Centre (IDRC) in partnership with the Rockefeller
>Foundation <www.rockfound.org> is launching a competition to support
>research on the social equity and public policy challenges of
>transformative technologies faced by developing countries. The focus is on
>how social equity and the human condition is being affected by emerging
>technologies, as well as on what mechanisms and learning processes are in
>place or have been developed to assist governments and public stakeholder
>groups engaged
>in the decision-making processes associated with these new technologies. We
>recognize that new knowledge is not neutral and is embedded in specific
>social contexts; it can offer opportunity, but can also constrain human
>activity.
>
>The competition is open to researchers and institutions based in
>the developing world. The grants will have a maximum value of CAD$80,000.
>For joint proposals where researchers are located in two or more countries
>a maximum of CAD$160,000 will be awarded. Because of the abundance of
>analysis of ICT impacts, we will give a premium consideration to proposals
>addressing new technologies in areas other than ICTs for development.
>
>We are interested in helping to understand and provide cases of good
>practice in this area; and in catalysing the debates over transformative
>technologies and the role of the various stakeholders in the South. These
>are just some questions being tabled to target a new competition for
>researchers to provide analysis and policy recommendations to their
>respective governments and to other decision-making bodies.
>
>The deadline for concept note submission is March 26, 2004. Submissions
>received after that date, or which are incomplete, will not be eligible for
>consideration. Concept notes that are qualified through a peer review
>process will be asked to submit full proposals for June 18, 2004.
>Information regarding the status of your application, other than our
>confirmation of its receipt, will not be available. For more information
>and to download a complete concept note application kit, click:
