Writing Workshops
There will be two residential writing workshops (writeshops) each with about 15 participants taking place in Delhi and Dhaka in April-May 2013. We anticipate selecting 15 participants for each writeshop.
Benefits of attending a writeshop include:
* Access to mentoring (including international experts) to help succeed in publishing in a peer review journal
* Extend your networks through contact with mentors and facilitators (including international scientific specialists) and fellow-participants
* The opportunity of being selected for a special issue of a high-ranking journal, edited by the mentors and facilitators
* Budget for access to free downloads of journal papers and book chapters from British Library of Development Studies (BLDS)
* All costs of attendance covered
Writeshop participants will:
* receive funding to cover all costs of attending the writeshop (including travel costs,visa cost, subsistence costs during the writeshop)
* be asked to prepare a draft of their article and share this with their mentor prior to the writeshops
* receive further guidance and technical support (including access to online full text on scientific and scholarly material, primarily research articles published in peer reviewed journals through the British Library of Development Studies (BLDS) at IDS)
* need to be prepared to do some follow-up work after the writeshop should this be necessary to complete the paper
Writeshops are residential courses, run over 5 days. Participants must be able to attend the entire writeshop. They include plenary and training sessions, one-on-one sessions with mentors and time for participants to work on their papers
Participants must recognise that involvement in the writeshops does not guarantee publication ? this will be determined by the peer-review process, which is independent and objective. Please note that the writeshops will be held in English.
Fellowships
The programme is offering bursaries to support research leave of up to one month in order to increase the quality and quantity of papers published in international peer-reviewed journals by South Asian researchers in the climate field. Programme participants will be selected through an application process.
The fellowships do NOT provide funding for new research projects ? only for the writing up of existing research into publishable form. In some circumstances we may support some new data collection or data analysis if it adds value to the paper being proposed.
We are offering 20 places for fellowships. Fellowship holders will:
? receive funding for research leave from their employer for up to one month of their time to work on an already existing paper.
? be paired up with and receive mentoring from an expert in their field of expertise
? receive further guidance and technical support (including access to online full text on scientific and scholarly material, primarily research articles published in peer reviewed journals through the British Library of Development Studies (BLDS) at IDS)
? gain enhanced awareness of the process of writing papers for academic journals.
? at the end of the fellowship have produced a paper for submission to peer-review journal
? be eligible for some additional funding to improve/ expand/ analyse a fellowship holder's data (including a field visit) if this will substantially improve the prospects of a paper
Participants must recognise that involvement in the fellowship programme does not guarantee publication ? this will be determined by the peer-review process, which is independent and objective.
How to apply
Applications are open to researchers from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan, who are working on any aspect of climate change research. Participants should be early/mid career researchers, although more established researchers may be considered. Unfortunately researchers from other countries are not included in this opportunity.

Further information
'Support to Improve Climate Research and Information Services in South Asia' (SICRISA) is a two-year project which aims to increase the quality and quantity of climate change research from South Asia. This will be achieved by training and mentoring South Asian scientists through fellowships and four residential writing workshops, and by publishing two special editions of journals. The project is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID).Dear colleagues,
"So they [the Government] go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent?. Owing to past neglect, in the face of the plainest warnings, we have entered upon a period of danger?. The era of procrastination, of half measures, of soothing and baffling expedience of delays, is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences?. We cannot avoid this period, we are in it now?."
