Reviewing Proposals

Funding for research projects is awarded on a competitive basis. When we decide to undertake research, we post a request for proposal (RFP) on this site.

All proposals are assessed for relevance, quality, content and methodology through our two-track peer-review process. Beside conceptual and methodological rigour, all research is tested for:

• Relevance to ensure the results are useful for Canadians
• Accessibility to ensure the findings are easily understandable
• Scalability to ensure that the models can be economically implemented in other situations
• Collaboration to ensure that the research is supported by other institutions and will help develop partnerships with those who use it

All CCL research projects must include explicit strategies for putting findings into action and developing partnerships between researchers, NGOs and various levels of government.

Call for Peers to Review Proposals

CCL has received an overwhelming response to its request for individuals to peer review its research proposals and welcomes new applicants on an ongoing basis. Our Peer Review Q&A helps explain our reviewing process.
