The CESC-SSHRC Education Research Initiative is a joint program of SSHRC and the Canadian Education Statistics Council. The CESC-SSHRC Education Research Initiative seeks to promote and support quantitative research in education that uses the SAIP and Statistics Canada educational data bases. The partners in this joint initiative also aim to support and develop closer relationships among researchers, those responsible for program and policy development, and those who implement program and policy changes.

The present competition, focusing on "Learning Outcomes" is the first of two to be held under the CESC-SSHRC Education Research Initiative. The second competition, to take place in 2003-04, will likely focus on “Transitions.” Grants will support individuals and small teams of researchers to conduct research using the SAIP or Statistics Canada data sets. Applications must be submitted by individuals or small teams working in collaboration with one or more partner organizations (provincial and territorial governments, schools, school boards, school districts or other stakeholders). Grants are available for two-year programs of research, with a maximum value of $100,000 over the two years.

Deadline: February 10, 2003
