	International Development Research Centre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is a Canadian crown corporation that supports researchers from the developing world in their search for the means to build healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous societies.
		IDRC was created by an Act of the Canadian Parliament in 1970, with a governance structure that includes an arm’s length relationship to Government and an international Board of Governors.
		Many leading development agencies, including the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the UK Department for International Development, the Ford Foundation, and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, as well as private sector partners — including Microsoft Corporation — have chosen to partner with IDRC because of its widely recognized experience and good corporate governance.

	History of IDRC: International Development Research Centre
		Although IDRC is one of the world's leading institutions in supporting the generation and application of new knowledge to meet the challenges facing developing countries, there is no comprehensive study of the Centre's work over the years.
		Part of this international dimension was the membership of the Board of Governors: while the chair and 11 of the 21 members of the Board of Governors were to be Canadian, the remaining positions ensured that the perspective and experience of developing countries would be represented.
		IDRC is seeking expressions of interest from qualified and experienced individuals, firms, consortia, NGOs, or research centres to research and write a scholarly history of the Centre.

	About IDRC - Briefing book: International Development Research Centre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The International Development Research Centre (IDRC, the Centre) is one of the world’s leading institutions in the generation and application of new knowledge to meet the challenges facing developing countries.
		IDRC is one of the few institutions in the world that builds local capacity in developing countries to undertake research and create innovations, based on the conviction that researchers and innovators in developing countries must take the lead in producing and applying knowledge for the benefit of their own communities.
		IDRC’s work is consistent with, and pre-dates, the recent commitment that Canada’s National Science Advisor will work with the research community to identify additional steps to bring the benefits of Canadian research and development capacity to bear on the challenges of the developing world.

	Bibliography: International Development Research Centre
		IDRC funds developing-world researchers, thus enabling the people of the South to find their own solutions to their own problems.
		IDRC also maintains information networks and forges linkages that allow Canadians and their developing-world partners to benefit equally from a global sharing of knowledge.
		IDRC publications are sold through its head office in Ottawa, Canada, as well as by IDRC’s agents and distributors around the world.

	The Audit of International Development Research Centre (IDRC)
		The Centre believes its base of support lies among the global community of scientists and researchers, particularly those who are concerned with the application of science and technology to the problems and needs of development, and in the community of policy makers and policy users with the same interest.
		IDRC should undertake, over time, a review and benchmarking exercise of key policies and practices in both the program area and administration, with a view toward improving practices and assuring the Board that the variances from relevant benchmarks are justified in terms of effectiveness or cost.
		IDRC does not know what the costs of its operations would be if there were no regional offices, because the Board of Governors has made a clear decision to continue with regional offices: their existence is a vital part of IDRC's reputation and its comparative advantage.

	Global Health Research Pilot Project Grants - International Development Research Centre Component (IDRC) - CIHR
		The ultimate beneficiaries of the research supported by IDRC should be communities in the countries of the South, particularly marginalized or disadvantaged groups.
		IDRC feels that Canadians have much to offer in building research capacity in the South, as well as in directly addressing critical health issues affecting the populations of the developing world.
		IDRC's Governance, Equity and Health Program Initiative, in any low or middle-income country (GEH) examines health systems through a governance lens and, conversely, uses health as an entry point to approach challenges of governance - how power is exercised, how decisions are taken, how citizens have their say.
