The Centre for Ageing Research and Development in Ireland (CARDI), is inviting applications for grants to fund cross-border and inter-disciplinary research or to create networks of academics with the public, private and voluntary sectors to examine issues arising out of an ageing society in Ireland, North and South.

CARDI was established to provide a mechanism for greater collaboration among age researchers, wider dissemination of ageing research information and to advance a research agenda relevant to the needs of older people in Ireland, North and South.

CARDI will be allocating €300,000 in Call 2 of their grants programme, which closes on 2nd October 2009.

In Call 2 research grants have increased to €25,000 and our network grants will be funded up to a limit of €10,000. It is a precondition that applications must be both cross-border and inter-disciplinary.

More information about the grants, terms of reference, including an application form, can be accessed on www.cardi.ie/grantprogramme or email info@cardi.ie

If you would like a briefing meeting on your campus or for your organisation, we will be happy to make a presentation and answer questions. We are particularly interested in meetings involving people from different disciplines and sectors (eg academic, statutory, voluntary and community). Please email info@cardi.ie or ring our Belfast office: 0044 28 9069 0066.
