Community College Collaborative Incentive
Research Grant Program Round 9

2012 Proposal Submission Deadline: Friday, March 16

The Community College Collaborative Incentive Research Grants (C³IRG) Program was founded by the Vice Chancellor for Research, Gillian Small, to support the collaborative research efforts of faculty at CUNY Community Colleges.  The goal of the C³IRG Program is to promote research productivity and to enhance, through multi-campus or multi-disciplinary collaborations, the prestige and prominence of the University.  The review committee is comprised of CUNY college senior faculty and is chaired by the Associate University Dean for Research.

For a second year the C³IRG program is directed towards supporting and funding projects focusing on pedagogical research.  The program will fund one-year grants with awards of a maximum of $15,000. In an effort to answer questions and facilitate discussion related to pedagogical research, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research will be holding a one-day workshop at entitled Building the Foundations for Pedagogical Research at BMCC on Thursday, January 5, 2012 .

In addition to the annual grant writing workshop, the C³IRG team will hold informational sessions on each Community College campus in order to reach as large a constituency as possible. These sessions will review the details of the 2012 program, including the guidelines, the focus on pedagogical research, and the value of seed grants.
