IDRC has several programs that work in partnership with UPE, offering further ways to participate on related projects. Please see Funding & Awards Opportunities at IDRC.
Please note that for this fiscal year, the Urban Poverty and Environment Programme will no longer be funding unsolicited research proposals.
