Letters of intent due May 5 for Community-University Research Alliances
Program in Canada

The purpose of the Community-University Research Alliances (CURA) Program
ofthe Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada is to
support the creation of community-university alliances which, through a
process of ongoing collaboration and mutual learning, will foster
innovative research, training and the creation of new knowledge in areas
of importance for the social, cultural or economic development of Canadian
communities.  A new competition is underway, with letters of intent due
May 5. See below for more details. Complete information is available at
http://www.sshrc.ca/web/apply/program_descriptions/cura_e.asp

The CURA program's specific objectives are to:
* promote sharing of knowledge, resources and expertise between
universities and organizations in the community;
* enrich research, teaching methods and curricula in universities;
* reinforce community decision-making and problem-solving capacity; and
* enhance students' education and employability by means of diverse
opportunities to build their knowledge, expertise and work skills through
hands-on research and related experience.

A CURA is based on an equal partnership between organizations from the
community and the university, and provides co-ordination and core support
for planning and carrying out diversified research activities that reflect
the CURA program objectives, are centred on themes/areas of mutual
importance to the partners, and are closely related to their existing
strengths.
