The Innovation, Policy and Science ( IPS) program area was approved by the Board of Governors in October 2005 to support the development of science, technology and innovation policies to alleviate poverty in developing countries. IPS funds research on governance, public understanding, access and benefits associated with new technologies like biotechnology and nanotechnology. IPS has two main programming units: The Innovation, Technology and Society (ITS) program initiative, which works toward a vision of science, technology and innovation contributing to just, equitable and sustainable social and economic development in low and middle-income countries by supporting research and related activities. The IDRC Research Partnerships Challenge Fund, which was created to provide a financial incentive to strengthen research partnerships between developing country scientists and Canadian researchers. In 2005, the Challenge Fund was used to support the launch of a major new partnership initiative, the Teasdale-Corti Global Health Research Partnership, involving the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), CIDA, Health Canada and IDRC.
