HICD
The Institutional Capacity Development (ICD) programme is aimed at the development of human and infrastructural research capacity at South African higher educational- and research institutions.
The programme seeks to achieve this via the annual funding of clearly-defined research projects situated within the framework of designated, research niche areas and conducted by individual researchers acting as grant holders, responsible for the achievement of the stated research aims as well as the logistical and financial management of the projects. Each niche area is supervised by a niche area leader responsible for the alignment of individual projects with the overall theme represented by the niche area definition.
The Thuthuka (TTK) programme is aimed at the development of human research capacity at South African higher educational- and research institutions, particularly among previously disadvantaged socio-economic groups (i.e. black researchers, female researchers and disabled researchers). The programme seeks to achieve this via the preferential funding of clearly-defined research projects conducted by individual researchers acting as grant holders, responsible for the achievement of the stated research aims as well as the logistical and financial management of the projects.
