Boosting China’s research collaboration
Boosting China’s research collaboration
Rong LiResearch Awards2015The expansion of China’s economy has prompted the country’s emergence as a major player in the field of foreign aid, including in health. “China has dispatched Chinese medical teams since 1963,” says 2015 IDRC Research Award recipient Rong Li, “but there has been little public health assistance.”
“China’s cooperation to date has also largely ignored the role of research collaboration,” he says. Li focused on what China’s foreign cooperation program should look like in the years ahead and what changes are needed to support new directions. “In building a research cooperation strategy, China could take advantage of the interest and experience of agencies like IDRC, that have established research support programs,” he says.
Of his experience at IDRC, Li says “The award gave me the opportunity to conduct the policy review at the national level with fieldwork back in China. I accumulated skills on qualitative research. It was my first time formally working abroad,” he says. “It will definitely benefit my future career.”

Making a business case for commercializing research
Making a business case for commercializing research
How can new technologies that prevent the loss of fruit after harvest make it from the lab to the market? Do researchers and marketing companies agree on what is needed?
These are the questions Laura Husak, a 2015 Research Award recipient, sought to answer while working with an IDRC team to ensure the research the Centre funds leads to “large-scale positive change” for smallholder farmers.
Using a business lens — “an approach not commonly used in the development sector” — she focused on a project to develop innovative technologies to prolong the shelf life of soft fruit in Sri Lanka.
While she found that the business approach could help streamline the process of scaling-up, “other important factors shape how research results are deployed,” says Husak. This research “really opened my eyes to the need for interdisciplinary approaches to sustainable development.”
It also spurred an interest in how development institutions interact with funding partners and grantees. “The Research Award program offered the perfect balance between research and program management activities. It was a fantastic way for me to transition from being a graduate student to being a young professional,” says Husak.
