这一项目旨在发现并支持中国贫困与分配领域的新一代年轻学者。这些青年学者可以来自于大学、研究机构或政府部门。每年大约资助6个研究项目。资助对象包括优秀的研究生，但我们更偏好已完成学业的博士。资助的研究项目希望以数据分析为基础，或含有数值模拟分析的方法论研究。
研究网络的协调人为李实教授（北京师范大学）与John Whalley 教授(加拿大西安大略大学University of Western Ontario, Canada)，并由7名中方代表和3名国际代表组成组委会。研究网络将于每年组织年会接受研究计划申请, 并且每月在北京师范大学召开小型学术研讨会。
中国青年学者贫困研究网络欢迎年轻的中国学者提交研究计划以申请资助。
申请人需要提供一份英语的研究计划（不要求中文本）。它包括一个简短的内容提要（1页）以及申请人已有的（或发表的）相关领域研究成果的较为详细的介绍，并陈述拟开展研究工作的初步设想，研究计划期限不超过两年，范围包括中国贫困与收入分配方面的问题。研究计划可以是数据导向的或数据分析，当然也包括数值模拟方面的研究。提交研究计划的同时应附有简短的个人简历。项目资助人在项目结束时要求提供一份英文的研究报告（论文）。
“青年学者”的含义包括优秀的研究生和博士后研究人员，主要指的是在那些已经从事贫困或收入分配问题研究、并已经在过去2—7年内完成了博士学业的学者。同时项目申请人限定为中国大陆某个机构的人员，也包括派往国外的人员。
2006年1月20/21日将在北京举行为期两天的会议，获得资助的申请者将被邀请参加并宣读研究计划，随后在网络资深成员的指导下开展研究工作。研究网络每年提供大约6,000加元的资助金额及相应的国际交流机会。他们参加会议的旅费和食宿将由网络负担。
研究计划请提交北京师范大学李实教授(lishi89@263.net) 和中国社会科学院邓曲恒 (dengqh@cass.org.cn)。申请截止日期为2006年1月10日。
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Ottawa, Canada jointly with the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), Waterloo, Ontario, is sponsoring a 3 year initiative to establish a young scholar research network on poverty in China. It will run from summer 2005 through summer 2008 initially, and depending on results may be extended further.
The aim is to both identify and support a new generation of younger researchers working on poverty and distributional issues in China. Young researchers may come from universities, research institutes, or government departments. Around 6 each year will be supported. Advanced graduate work is included, but preference is given to completed Ph.Ds. Work may be data oriented, or involve analytical methods including numerical simulation analysis.
The coordinators of the network will be Professor Li Shi (Beijing Normal University) and Professor John Whalley (University of Western Ontario, Canada), and there will be an organizing committee with 7 Chinese representatives and 3 international representatives. There will be an annual network meeting where proposals are presented, and a monthly seminar at Beijing Normal University.
The young China Scholar Network invites young China Scholars to submit proposals for support for research projects.
Proposals should be in English. They should contain a short (1 page) abstract as well as longer summary of applicants’ existing research work (existing papers) and should set out initial ideas for potential research over a period of up to 2 years on poverty and distributional issues in China. This research is to lead to a research paper in English for an international audience. Work can be data oriented and/or analytical in nature. Numerical simulation work is explicitly included.
The term “Young Scholar” will be interpreted broadly to include advanced graduate students and post Ph.D researchers, but will center on those scholars already working on poverty and distributional issues and within 2-7 years of completion of Ph.D. Proposals should include a brief CV/Resume. Scholars should have an institutional affiliation in Mainland China, but applicants need not be resident in China when applying.
A 2-day network meeting will be held in Beijing Jan. 20/21 2006 to which successful applicants will be invited to present their initial proposal. They will then work further on their project under mentoring from senior network members. Annual support up to C$ 6,000/year is available, along with opportunities for international travel to present their work.
Proposals should be sent to Professor Li Shi, Beijing Normal University by (lishi89@263.net) and Deng Quheng, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences by (dengqh@cass.org.cn) by Jan 10th 2006 at latest. Successful applicants will be invited and their travel and accommodation costs for the January meeting covered.
