Funding For CCESC’s Future

A big focus this fall has been proposing grants and considering fundraising to ensure the Centre has a sustainable future. Two types of grants are being pursued: project (led by Patty, for the Centre’s research) and operational (spearheaded by Becca, for infrastructure and staffing). We have submitted three grants so far including a Hellyer (Becca), and Insight and Partnership Development Grants (Patty). Patty is also in the final stretch of re-launching a SSHRC Partnership Grant.

Grants will fund research fellowships for students, postdoctoral fellows, community engaged research on inclusion, belonging and flourishing and the Centre’s programming, grants and staff!
