Official Development Assistance (ODA) update
Please refer to ODA review for the latest information on ODA.
The AHRC promotes international links at many levels: from policy through to research funding and researcher links.
The AHRC encourages international engagement as an integrated part of its standard funding schemes and operates a number of partnerships with international research funders.
