The government in low-income countries give less priorities for research. As a consequences, It is difficult for researcher to generate fund for research which play a crucial role for sustainability of researcher. Please suggest international funding agencies who promote clinical research activities in low-income countries. Your suggestions are appreciable.
IDRC ( International development research ceter) funds projects that aim to bring employment, food security, health, peace, and prosperity to developing regions of the world.
They offer grants, funding, and awards to researchers and institutions to search for answers to global development challenges.They invest in knowledge that will help
reduce poverty and inequity
promote employment and growth
help communities guard against climate impacts
encourage good governance and build strong policies
provide healthy futures for mothers and babies
leverage technology and innovation for growth
Their funding programs aim to generate, identify, and test creative ideas that can be scaled up to help larger numbers of people. We work with private and public sector actors who can help us implement solutions.
By bringing donor partners together to fund programs, we address a range of development challenges — from testing an Ebola vaccine to conducting research that will help countries adapt to climate change.
Through the projects they fund and the partnerships their our goal remains the same — to create lasting global change.

Major Research Grants
The Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) programme pursues a research agenda that aims to better understand what determines the strength of market forces driving efficiency in Low-Income Countries (LICs). Existing research suggests that the private sector in LICs faces a multitude of constraints that act upon each other. What is needed is research that allows us to understand how these constraints interact.
PEDL will support approaches that promise to produce credible research results that will be relevant for policy-making. It will promote research related to private enterprises of all sizes. PEDL will initially focus on four research themes, and research proposals should focus on one or more of these themes:
Market frictions, management and organizations
Trade and macro models - agglomeration and spatial location of firms
High growth entrepreneurship
Social compliance and the environment
Major Research Grants have an average grant size of £300,000. Note however that whilst there is a lower limit of £100,000 for each Major Grant, there is no upper limit. Cost effectiveness and value for money will also be important evaluation criteria.
These grants will fund research assistance, data collection and new surveys in low-income countries, and teaching buyouts for the principal investigator.
The deadline for the 5th round of MRG proposals was 2 October 2017.
** Please note that an important criteria for funding of proposals is the relevance to policy in Low-Income Countries and other elegible countries as defined by the PEDL Programme. See the list of the low-income countries here, DFID bilateral programme countries here and additional information available on our FAQ page.

Dear Kulvir Singh,
Thank you for your contribution. would it be possible for you to suggest others funding organisation that interested to do investment in clinical research.
Sincerely,
Ramesh Sharma Poudel
Thank very much for your suggestion to identify funding agencies to support research mentoring and training for young potential researchers from low income countries. Is it then possible to have them do the research training in their home countries with periodic viits to well establihed labs for hort term training.
