>Message on behalf of Jeanne Gallagher
>
>The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada is very pleased to
>administer the program Canada-Latin America-Caribbean Research Exchange
>Grants (LAC-REG) for the International Development Research Centre.
>
>The LAC-REG program strives to respond to the ever increasing interest from
>Canadian, Latin American and Caribbean researchers for stronger
>partnerships among themselves. We recognize that the areas of interest are
>widely varied and that the potential for collaboration is even greater than
>before in almost all sectors. Our resources remain limited, however, and we
>need to restrict the number of annual grants to a total of 10.
>
>LAC-REG will have one competition in 2002 and the awards will be for
>travel-related expenses to Canadian or Latin American or Caribbean
>researchers.
>
>In order to enhance the opportunities for the sustainability of project
>results, LAC-REG will also require that all applications have the
>institutional support of both the sending and hosting universities or
>institutes. This support will be demonstrated by letters from both
>institutions as well as signatures on the budget page by appropriate
>authorities.
>
>Please note that the deadline for submission of all applications to the
>AUCC is 4 PM, February 8, 2002.
>
>If you have questions on the program and its selection process, please do
>not hesitate to contact me via e-mail at <jgallagh@aucc.ca>.
