Research Committee

Committee Charge

This committee is charged to:

1. To coordinate and undertake the initial review of CCCC Research Initiative grants, including “regular” grants and any additional grants instituted by the EC, and to provide ranked recommendations and summaries of each grant to the CCCC Officers in time for the January Officers’ retreat;
2. Based on experience of that review, to offer advice on the design, planning, publicizing, submission guidelines, and support materials associated with research grant submission and review;
3. To work with the Officers and EC to develop and implement additional programming or support research grant recipients;
4. To recommend to the Officers and EC and/or undertake specific projects intended to foster a culture of research within CCCC and to disseminate research beyond CCCC members, e.g. in public venues; and
5. To recommend to the Officers and EC and/or undertake specific projects intended to foster research that represents underrepresented voices and subjects among CCCC members.

March 2018 Update

We encourage the membership to apply for CCCC Research Initiative grant funding.

We would like the membership to know in particular about the CCCC Emergent Researcher Awards.

We hope to support new generations of scholars in engaging in strong research.
