The CLIFF-GRADS Programme invites applications from PhD students from developing countries for short term (4-6 month) scientific training and research on the measurement, modelling and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, or carbon storage in agricultural systems relevant to developing countries (this may be in the context of enhancing food security). Research will be conducted in association with CCAFS and GRA scientists.
The Climate, Food and Farming, Global Research Alliance Development Scholarships Programme (CLIFF-GRADS) is a joint initiative of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) and the CCAFS Low Emissions Development Flagship. CLIFF-GRADS builds capability in early-career scientists from developing countries to conduct applied research in agriculture greenhouse gas emission quantification and mitigation.
In the first three rounds of CLIFF-GRADS, a total of 73 PhD students received grants, furthering their research skills and strengthening international agriculture emission research network.
WORTH
Grants of $12,000 USD will be awarded to PhD students from developing countries for research stays that will be completed before the end of 2021.
ELIGIBILITY
- Individuals applying for the Programme must be citizens of developing countries, be undertaking their PhD in a University in a developing country and must not have previously been awarded a CLIFF-GRADS grant.
- Women are encouraged to apply.
DEADLINE: April 1 2020
