Looking at the bigger research picture
Looking at the bigger research picture
For Andréanne Martel, research and the work she carried out at IDRC as a 2016 Research Award recipient are inseparable. Martel sought to understand if and how a project to provide access to justice for victims of sexual violence in Mumbai had endured and been replicated. But, she says, “my focus was not on the research project itself. It was more on what research I could do to influence IDRC’s work.”
“It was the first time I was doing this kind of oriented research to help an organization better understand how they are bringing impact to scale,” says Martel. Success in the project, she discovered, was due in large part to the team’s ability “to coordinate with plenty of organizations in the society, and with the state stakeholders,” she says.
Embedded in IDRC’s evaluation team, she collaborated in a study to help the Centre and its donor partners better design projects so that impacts could reach the greatest number of people. This enabled her to work “on really corporate issues for IDRC” she says. “This is what I really wanted to do, to understand the bigger picture.”

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.

Curbing the sweet tooth of Bangladeshi children
Curbing the sweet tooth of Bangladeshi children
If Parnali Chowdury’s research is any indication, children in Bangladesh are not going to give up their sugary drinks easily. The 2016 IDRC Research Award recipient found that although children in grades 5 to 8 were increasingly aware of the negative effects of sugary drinks, “children in higher grades are prone to consume more.” Chowdhury’s study was the first to examine why urban Bangladeshi children consume so many sugary drinks.
Although she found no difference in drink consumption between boys and girls, she did observe that their consumption is influenced in different ways. Boys, she says, have pocket money, so they buy drinks at local shops or in school vending machines. Girls, “don’t get pocket money in Bangladesh.” Nor are they allowed to play outside on the streets, so “they end up watching more TV and are more influenced by advertisements.” The strongest motivator for both were promotional gifts with beverage purchases, says Chowdhury.
Her experience at IDRC “made me strong enough to pursue things that I really want to pursue,” she says. “Now I’m very confident that I will be pursuing the health and development area all through my life.”
