CEED Research Grants & Scholarships

CEED offers two options to provide funding (up to $8000 over two years) to researchers:

1) Research Grant

A research grant will be awarded to a researcher or a research team for a single research project. The project must be completed within two years of receiving the notification of the award. To encourage completion of the project and dissemination of the results, the grant will be dispersed in two installments – 2/3 of the grant disbursed immediately and 1/3 of grant dispersed once the findings have been reported and a summary article for dissemination provided.

Purpose and Focus of the Award:

CEED seeks to promote research activity that will advance and strengthen the understanding of experiential, cooperative, and work-integrated education and internships in post-secondary education. An awarded study may sample from a variety of disciplines and ideally will include some sampling from engineering and/or computer science. Regardless, the results must have direct educational implications for the disciplines of engineering and or computer science along with the other disciplines that may be included.

Eligibility:

  1. The grant competition is open to both members and non-members of CEED
  2. The Principal Investigator must be affiliated with a post-secondary institution
  3. The Principal Investigator must have an established research and publication record
  4. The aspects of the research for which this funding is being requested must not be funded by other agencies
