Background Information 

Applications are now open for the 2025 IMU/CDC Graduate Research Assistantships in Developing Countries (GRAID) Program. IMU CDC established in 2017 the Graduate Research Assistantships in Developing Countries (GRAID) Program. The GRAID program provides modest support for emerging research groups, working in a developing country listed in Priority 1 or 2 of the IMU Definition of Developing Countries, to fund their most talented students to study full-time as graduate research assistants.

Eligibility Criteria

To apply for the program, applicants must meet the following criteria:

·        Be a university professor in mathematics with a PhD, based at a university or research center in a developing country classified under Priority 1 or 2 in the IMU CDC Definition of Developing Countries.

·        Be currently supervising mathematics Master’s or PhD students.

·        Serve as the Principal Investigator (PI) of an emerging research group in a country listed under Priority 1 or 2 in the IMU CDC Definition of Developing Countries.

·        Be part of an emerging research group that has an active and ongoing collaboration with an International Partner who is not based in a Priority 1 or 2 country.

Requirements for Student Nominees

Students nominated under this program must:

·        Demonstrate an outstanding academic track record in mathematical sciences.

·        Have already been accepted into a graduate program (Master’s or PhD).

Note: The Principal Investigator will serve as the primary point of contact and will be responsible for all aspects of the grant, including submitting the application, preparing and submitting reports, facilitating communication with IMU Grant Administration, and maintaining communication within the team, including with the graduate research assistants and the International Partner.

Geographical, mathematical, and gender diversity is desired and will be considered.
