Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding supports activity focused on the socio-economic development of countries on the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) List. Demonstrating that research applications are ODA compliant is a requirement of any proposals submitted to ODA funding schemes such as the ODA element of the International Science Partnerships Fund.
