Application Due Date: September 30, 2018
The CLIFF-GRADS program welcomes applications from trainees from establishing nations[1] presently registered in PhD programs for short-term clinical training and research study remain on subjects connected to the measurement and management of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon storage in farming systems.
Candidates ought to have a background in farming and environment modification research study and be pursuing graduate research study associated to farming greenhouse gas metrology.
Selected trainees will be sponsored in the quantity of 10,000—12,000 USD for short-term (4– 6 month) clinical training and research study remains to work together with jobs related to CCAFS and GRA Particular subjects will depend upon trainee and host organization researcher interests. A list of jobs looking for to host trainees is consisted of in the connected require propositions under “List of research study chances.”
The grants will be utilized to support travel to and living and research study expenses at the host organization. Grants might not be utilized for tuition or unassociated individual costs.
CLIFF-GRADS is a joint effort of the CGIAR Research Study Program on Environment Modification (CCAFS) L ow Emissions Advancement Flagship and the Global Research Study Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA). CLIFF-GRADS intends to develop the ability of early profession farming trainees in establishing nations to carry out applied research study on environment modification mitigation in farming.
Eligibility
- Candidates should be presently registered PhD trainees in a field associated to metrology of greenhouse gas emissions or carbon sequestration in farming systems
- Candidates should be trainees from an establishing nation 1
Requirements of grant receivers
- Grant cash ought to be utilized to fund the short-term clinical see, consisting of living and research study expenses at the host organization and all expenses related to that research study, consisting of travel, real estate, meals, and research study products and services. Financing is not to be utilized for tuition, costs, or unassociated individual expenses
- Scientific check outs should occur throughout 2019
- Each CLIFF-GRADS recipient will work straight with a research study manager at the host institute. The activities to be carried out by the trainee and a spending plan for the clinical see will be decideded upon in between the trainee and research study manager in a Managed Agreement
