Community Outreach Centre
Faculty of Education
Queen’s University
The Community Outreach Centre is inviting grant proposals from community members for funding
to support research projects between September 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013.
Each project funded by the Community Outreach Centre will be based on a partnership among members of Queen's Faculty of Education (and individuals from other faculties within Queen's or other universities) and community associations. It is hoped that by facilitating opportunities to advance research interests and answer community agencies' questions, all parties will benefit—especially learners at risk in literacy, mathematics and science and technology.
The application package can be accessed through the links below. It details the grant eligibility, the terms of reference and the application form.
