The vast majority of the estimated 40 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) globally live in conflict-affected low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).Like refugees, these IDPs have been forced to flee their homes. But, unlike refugees, IDPs remain within their own country, often at the mercy of the same armed groups that forced them to displace in the first place. The opportunities for IDPs to access 'protection' from dangers such as the risk of violence or other human rights violations can thus be quite limited.Moreover, the 'stop-gap' humanitarian response often traps IDPs, who have left behind homes and belongings, in long-term cycles of poverty. In many LMICs, internal displacement due to conflict is not only a serious protection concern but also an entrenched development challenge.There is an acute need to provide innovative evidence-based solutions to improve the protection of IDPs. However, new thinking on this topic remains elusive. In part, since the mid-2000s, this reflects a lack of robust and context-sensitive local research on IDP protection in situations of conflict.To remedy this shortcoming, and squarely address this development challenge, we propose to create an Interdisciplinary Network on Internal Displacement, Conflict and Protection (INDCaP).In the UK and in LMICs affected by conflict in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, our shortlisted four-year Network+ project will aim to promote pioneering research, and develop the evidence base, on 'protection' in contexts of internal displacement.To make an innovative research contribution, that project pursues three main objectives:1. Creating a new global research community on this development challenge. Research around internal displacement is currently both disparate and fragmentary, despite the vast scale of such displacement globally and the acute protection challenges involved;2. Capacity-building with researchers (academic, NGO, community-based etc.) in LMICs to enhance local knowledge production, impact and public engagement on the societal, legal and operational protection challenges of internal displacement during conflict;3. Leading and promoting cutting-edge interdisciplinary research to showcase how arts and humanities disciplines, working with the social sciences and STEM subjects, can contribute to crafting context-sensitive solutions to protection challenges in conflict and displacement.The present one-year Development Award (DA) project lays the groundwork for pursuing these three main objectives through an integrated programme of network-building activities by INDCaP partners.These DA project activities are jointly-designed by project partners as a way to consolidate equitable and sustainable partnerships between UK and LMICs for research on protection, conflict and displacement. The planned activities focus on three main areas of work: (i) promoting cross-cutting research development; (ii) allowing development of the Network+ bid; and (iii) facilitating sustainable legacies for the resulting network.The INDCaP DA project is an international collaboration between leading arts, humanities and social research centres: the 'IDP research programme' at the Refugee Law Initiative, School of Advanced Study, University of London (UK); Chair in Humanities and Human Rights of the University of Birmingham (UK); Centre for Human Rights of the University of Pretoria (South Africa); Centre for Socio-legal Research of University of the Andes (Colombia); and Qperspective social research consultancy (Jordan).The expertise, contacts and networks of these specialised research centres underpin the success of this incipient network, which draws in researchers from universities, research institutions and civil society in the UK, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, as well as key protection policy-makers from LMICs seriously affected by internal displacement.

据估计，全球约有4000万境内流离失所者，其中绝大多数生活在受冲突影响的中低收入国家，与难民一样，这些境内流离失所者被迫逃离家园。但是，与难民不同的是，境内流离失所者仍然留在自己的国家，往往受到最初迫使他们流离失所的武装团体的摆布。因此，国内流离失所者获得“保护”以免受暴力或其他侵犯人权行为等危险的机会可能相当有限，而且，“权宜之计”的人道主义反应往往使国内流离失所者陷入长期的贫困循环，因为他们已经离开了家园和财产。在许多低收入国家，冲突造成的境内流离失所不仅是一个严重的保护问题，也是一个根深蒂固的发展挑战，迫切需要提供创新的循证解决方案，以改善对境内流离失所者的保护。然而，关于这一主题的新思维仍然难以捉摸。从某种程度上说，自2000年代中期以来，这反映了当地缺乏对冲突局势中境内流离失所者保护问题的强有力和对背景敏感的研究。为了弥补这一缺陷，并正视这一发展挑战，我们建议建立一个境内流离失所、冲突和保护问题跨学科网络（INDCaP）。在英国以及非洲、拉丁美洲和中东受冲突影响的中低收入国家，我们入围的四年期“网络+”项目将致力于促进关于国内流离失所背景下的“保护”的开创性研究，并建立证据库。为应对这一发展挑战建立一个新的全球研究社区。目前，关于境内流离失所问题的研究既不一致又不完整，尽管这种流离失所现象在全球范围内规模巨大，而且涉及到严重的保护挑战;与研究人员（学术界、非政府组织、社区等）一起进行能力建设在中低收入国家，就冲突期间境内流离失所的社会、法律的和业务保护挑战，加强地方知识的产生、影响和公众参与;领导和促进前沿的跨学科研究，以展示艺术和人文学科如何与社会科学和STEM学科合作，目前为期一年的“发展奖”项目为通过一个综合网络方案实现这三个主要目标奠定了基础，这些发展议程项目活动由项目伙伴共同设计，目的是巩固联合王国与中低收入国家在保护、冲突和流离失所问题研究方面的公平和可持续伙伴关系。计划的活动集中在三个主要工作领域：（i）促进跨领域的研究发展;（ii）允许网络+投标的发展;（iii）促进由此产生的网络的可持续遗产。INDCaP DA项目是领先的艺术，人文和社会研究中心之间的国际合作：伦敦大学高级研究学院难民法倡议的“国内流离失所者研究方案”（联合王国）;伯明翰大学人文和人权教席（联合王国）;比勒陀利亚大学人权中心（南非）;安第斯山脉大学社会法律研究中心（哥伦比亚）;和Qperspective社会研究咨询公司（约旦）。这些专门研究中心的专门知识、联系和网络是这一初期网络成功的基础，该项目吸引了来自英国、非洲、拉丁美洲和中东的大学、研究机构和民间社会的研究人员，以及来自受国内流离失所问题严重影响的中低收入国家的关键保护政策制定者。
