[Commlist] IAMCR/FAO Rural Communication Services Research Award

IAMCR and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 
(FAO) are offering four awards of 2,500 USD to authors of papers that 
advance our understanding of applications of Rural Communication 
Services (RCS), particularly in the areas of agriculture, family 
farming, natural resource management, climate change adaptation, food 
security, and disaster risk reduction and management.

Within the context of the IAMCR 2023 conference, with the theme of 
“Inhabiting the planet: Challenges for media, communication and beyond”, 
IAMCR's Rural Communication Working Group (RUC) has issued a call for 
papers that critically explore the conference themes in relation to 
rural communication and rural environments. (See the RUC CfP for 2023 
<https://iamcr.org/lyon2023/cfp-ruc>).

As part of the overall CfP, and in cooperation with FAO, *four awards of 
2,500 USD* are being offered to authors of papers that advance our 
understanding of applications of Rural Communication Services, 
particularly in the areas of agriculture, family farming, natural 
resource management, climate change adaptation, food security, and 
disaster risk reduction and management. Special attention will be given 
to papers that consider elements such as: participatory design of 
communication services in rural areas; appropriation of media by family 
farmers; institutionalization of communication services for rural 
communities; and evidence-based approaches for inclusive rural 
communication services.

To be eligible for the award, you must be a Ph.D. student or 
early-career researcher/scholar and reside in a low- or middle-income 
country in Asia, Africa or the Latin America/Caribbean region (see the 
lists of low and middle-income countries <https://iamcr.org/income>). 
The 2,500 USD is to be used to defray costs of presenting the work at a 
special panel at IAMCR’s 2023 conference.

Interested authors must submit abstracts of their papers by the 9 
February 2023 deadline, indicating that they wish to be considered for 
the FAO/IAMCR Award in step 5 of the submission process, “Topics”. 
Authors of selected abstracts will be informed by 17 March and required 
to submit final papers by 1 May. The FAO/IAMCR Award selection committee 
will evaluate the eligible papers and announce the winners no later than 
5 June.
