Description: |
The Ontario Metropolis Centre is a consortium of Ontario universities, immigrant service agencies, other community groups, social planning councils, and representatives from all levels of government. The proposals should focus on policy relevant research questions associated with the six CERIS Research Domains. Please see Sponsor Guidelines for detailed information.
Research funded by CERIS is based on the following general principles:
- Research that studies instrumental policy and program interventions is needed as much as that
which promote a deeper understanding of critical issues
- The concerns of immigrants, refugees, refuge-seekers, foreign temporary workers, and the
societies they enter are all legitimate areas of study
- The intersection of immigration issues with race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, legal
status, religion, age, and sexual orientation will be considered
- Collaboration between academic researchers and community-based researchers is essential
- Interdisciplinary studies are particularly encouraged
- The focus of the study should be on Ontario
- Whenever possible, national and international comparisons should be made and best practices
identified CERIS funds three types of research projects: a) synthesis of research findings from the literature; b) studies based on new empirical data (qualitative and/or quantitative); and c) secondary data analysis. Successful projects will be funded for up to 18 months for a maximum of $20,000. |
