Grants for Agricultural Development in East and Central Africa

International Scholarships » Non Profit Funds » Educational Grants

Research into Use (RIU) is a DFID-funded programme aimed at catalysing agricultural innovation as a follow-up to DFID's £220m investment in the Renewable Natural Resources Research Strategy (RNRRS).

It represents a shift in emphasis away from generating new knowledge and towards ensuring that existing research with potential is promoted and scaled up successfully to achieve lasting development impact.

RIU now wishes to support a portfolio of Best Bets.

These will be provided with a significant level of grant aid to facilitate research outputs reaching their potential to provide significant benefit for the poor.

The originators of the research should be involved in the programme in a significant way
