International Research and Development

Facilitating research and development overseas

International Research and Development (IR&D) promotes, facilitates and monitors Dalhousie’s international research and international development initiatives.  

IR&D and its experienced staff provide assistance to faculty and/or units interested in becoming involved in international research or international development projects. We have experience working with major funding agencies such as:

We also help with the development and implementation of international projects in the following ways:

  • identification of project opportunities and funding sources
  • project design and proposal development (both narrative and budgetary sections)
  • liaison with funding agency personnel regarding application and implementation processes
  • project management issues

Dalhousie has a long history of involvement in international projects, with partners in both developed and developing countries. View our list of selected current projects.

Faculty and staff interested in pursuing external support for international projects are encouraged to contact us at the earliest stages of project development.
