Linda Campbell John Eberlee 2000-10-20 Investigating Mercury Contamination in Lake Victoria Research on the sources of mercury in Lake Victoria; how it cycles between air, water, lake sediments, and aquatic life; and whether or not the risk from mercury contamination is increasing. Gregory Rose Stephen Dale 2000-02-04 Regenerative Solutions for Managing Community-generated Organic Waste Gregory Rose is searching for a silver lining in one of the world's most pressing environmental and public health problems: what to do with the increasing amounts of human waste, also known as 'black water'. Over the past 50 years, the volume of domestic sewage produced globally has more than doubled. Much of that sewage is generated in the rapidly urbanizing areas of the South, creating the same kind of public health crisis for developing countries that led to the so-called 'sanitary reforms' in 18th century Europe. Carolyn Crook John Eberlee 2000-01-21 Assessing the Benefits of Bioprospecting in Latin America Carolyn Crook was granted an IDRC Doctoral Research Award to assess the contribution of biodiversity prospecting to sustainable development in Costa Rica and Peru. Her main aim was to examine whether biodiversity prospecting enhances the 'value' of biodiversity and thereby increases incentives to conserve it. Jonathan Schwartz Kirsteen MacLeod 2000-01-14 Investigating the Influence of State Capacity on Environmental Compliance in China With funding from IDRC, Jonathan Schwartz examined the link between state capacity — the ability of the Chinese state to enforce regulations in the face of opposition from powerful interest groups — and the enforcement of environmental laws. Heather Holden Rufus Bellamy 1999-11-26 Monitoring the Health of Coral Reefs from Space With the help of an IDRC Doctoral Research Award, Dr Holden and her colleagues looked at how water affects the image of a coral reef seen from the sky. Lynn Patterson 1999 Through her IDRC-supported research she hoped to develop a practical understanding of socio-economic, ecological, nutritional andgender issues related to home gardens as sustainable, low-input management systems in Belize. University: University of Alberta, Edmonton Award: IDRC Doctoral Research Award Brenda Cranney 1999 Effectiveness of income generating programs for women in India: An integrated analysis of class and gender relations in social forestry in India. Since completing her award tenure with IDRC, Brenda has returned to India several times to conduct further field research. University: York University Award: IDRC Doctoral Research Award Chalmers Larose 1999 University: Université de Montréal Award: IDRC Canadian Window on International Development Award Kim Bell 1999 Research onearly life history of goby fish in Dominica and, now, in South Africa where he is currently on a Hugh Kelly Fellowship as a Senior Visiting Scientist at the JLB Smith Institute of Ichthyology and Rhodes University. University: Rhodes University Award: IDRC Doctoral Research Award Aminur Rahman Jennifer Pepall 1998-08-04 Bangladeshi Women and the Grameen Bank In 1994, Aminur Rahman set out to study how the world renowned Grameen Bank of Bangladesh has improved the lives of women. He found, however, somedisturbing findings: out of the 120 female borrowers in his study, 70% reported an increase in verbal and physical aggression from male relatives after taking out loans. And while their loans were intended to help them earn income, most of these women were reduced to "middle men," borrowing money on behalf of their spouses or male relatives. Nathalie Pinsonnault Luc Dupont 1998-05-19 An anthropological look at malaria A medical anthropologist working on her doctorate at the University of Quebec at Montreal went to Guinea to study malaria from an ecological perspective. Allison Goebel 1998-03-03 Research on woodland management and deforestation in Zimbabwe’s Resettlement Areas, Allison employed participatory methods in her research, which enable members of the community being studied to actively engage in the research process,providing their own perspectives on the issues at hand, on where solutions lie, and on which directions both the research and action should take. Ruth Waldick 1998-03-02 There's No Stopping Her Waldick was in Northwestern Brazil studying the effects of forest fragmentation on primates. Her research was funded through an IDRC Young Canadian Researchers Award, a funding program which has since been replaced by IDRC's Doctoral Research Awards Program. Brazil is home to 80% of the world's 64 primate species, all of which are either threatened or endangered. In many areas of the country, their forest habitat is being cleared to make way for highways, ranches, farms, and urban settlements. Anna-Marie Ball 1998-02-24 Doctoral research devoted to the social and cultural factors related to sexual risk and the spread of AIDS among the youth of Botswana. Her one-year investigation has revealed important subtleties in the risk and extent of HIV infection and provides insights for new approaches to AIDS education. Archana Dwivedi 1998-02-17 Research on the effects of community participation on health programs. Her research findings suggest that rural health care in India may be improved by devoting more resources to local organizations and NGOs because the greater degree of local participation can make health programs both more effective and less costly.
