Two candidates will be chosen by this committee while the two remaining candidates will be chosen by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) from a preselection list established by the IRCP.
One of the candidates, at least, will be a South Pacific Island States national, in order to promote training for scientific research in these countries. Grants of 4500 € (euros) will cover travel expenses to and from French Polynesia, accommodation and research costs. Selection results will be notified before June 30th. Selected candidates will perform their respective projects in no more than 12 months, following the grant notification.

The grant will be mentioned in reports and publications under the name ‘IRCP – Tahiti Perles’.
Successful candidates will have their names and corresponding research projects communicated to the media. Research field work will also be covered by the media, when in French Polynesia. The EPHE (Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes - mother administration of the IRCP) and Tahiti Perles will also seek media coverage in the context of the attributed grants, in French Polynesia, France or any other foreign country.
