British Council - Country-specific approaches to Research Capacity Strengthening -International Science Partnerships Fund
Project disclaimer
Description
Professional Development Programmes for policy makers or future leaders in research and science. This activity addresses country-specific capacity gaps relevant to International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) priority themes and partner country development objectives, and will realise impact at individual, institutional and system level. Programmes will be co-designed with national partners, and will be responsive to long term national priorities and ambitions. Activities and themes will include but will not be limited to: Need gap analysis (Egypt); research governance and management, leadership development, uptake of research for evidence-based policymaking (Jordan); research impact assessment system, knowledge/skills exchange and tech transfer; climate change science policy framework (Malaysia); awareness on Transformative Innovation Policy framework (Philippines); strengthening the capacity of academics and tech transfer professionals (South Africa). This activity will only be delivered in ODA eligible or Least Developed Countries (LDCs) settings, with a particular focus on bespoke needs and interest assessment from the design stage through co-delivered implementation. The ODA relevance will be assessed at the Level C design stage for each setting and again when any Level D grants or tenders are awarded. This programme has a direct Research Capacity Strengthening (RCS) benefit, supporting researchers and academics in ODA-eligible settings, and establishing needs and strategic interests of partners.
Objectives
Professional Development Programmes for policy makers or future leaders in research and science. Comprehensive research to assess the current situation, policies, stakeholders, and capacity gaps. Recommendations will be provided for enhancing Translational Research Partnerships through a collaborative, multi-stakeholder approach. Additional research impact: Activities around strengthening technology transfer, policy exchange, or more inclusive environments will likely enhance the impact of research outputs in participating settings. Influence policy, innovation and practice change: A wide range of programmes and delivery mechanisms can be considered here, including strengthening institutional capacity for research governance, knowledge transfer and policy impact. Research capacity in developing countries: This programme has a direct Research Capacity Strengthening (RCS) benefit, supporting researchers and academics in ODA-eligible settings, and establishing needs and strategic interests of partners.
