Community-Engaged Research Funding Program

CERi’s Community-Engaged Research Funding Program is a grant program available to SFU faculty and graduate students. The purpose of this funding program is to encourage and support student participation in community-engaged research and art-creation projects that emerged from and address the research needs of community partners.

Our goal is to provide an opportunity for students to develop research skills, build interpersonal and professional relationships while contributing to the research needs of community partner organizations.

Researchers-in-Residence

CERi’s Researchers-in-Residence program supports and promotes SFU faculty members actively practicing community-engaged research or whose research involves CER methods. The purpose of the program is to facilitate opportunities for faculty to share their research activities and encourage meaningful engagement across the SFU community. During residencies, CERi will promote and profile researchers’ work by communicating internally and externally about current research programs.

Indigenous-Centred Knowledge Exchange

The Indigenous-Centred Knowledge Exchange is a collaborative project between SFU’s Faculty of Environment and SFU’s Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) aimed at fostering meaningful research partnerships with Indigenous communities. It matches community-identified knowledge needs and strengths with institutional research support, ensuring research directly benefits and empowers Indigenous communities.  At a practical level, research may be required in the form of a literature review, synthesis of reports, a program evaluation, needs assessment or other research-related deliverables determined by the community partner.
