Abstract
Management recognizes that both programs have already implemented strategies to improve the quality of proposals. Increased attention to research ethics has also been noted in projects approved recently. Management acknowledges the findings by Ecosystems and Human Health review of inadequate recognition of IDRC’s contribution to field-building, in part the result of a deliberate strategy to shift focus to southern leaders and away from IDRC. That said, the book, Ecohealth Research in Practice, is one of the most cited of IDRC’s books and in consequence the Centre’s contribution is increasingly recognized. Management acknowledges the finding of high degree of relevance for both programs.
