The International Baccalaureate (IB) Research Department would like to commission an in-depth investigation of postsecondary outcomes among graduates from Canadian IB Diploma Programmes (DPs) who then enroll in Canadian universities. Additionally, we intend this study to compare those students with similar groups or Canadian national benchmarks and to identify postsecondary pathways of graduates from Canadian DPs, accounting for student, secondary-school, and university characteristics. Please email Michael Thier (Michael.thier@ibo.org) by 13 May 2019 if you intend to submit a full proposal by 28 May 2019. The project budget ranges from 65,000 to 75,000 USD.

Reminder: new Connection Grants – Research Data Management Capacity Building Initiative 

To help the Canadian social sciences and humanities research community better understand data management and incorporate data management considerations into research practices, SSHRC’s Research Data Management Capacity Building Initiative offers Connection Grants to support the research community’s development, adoption and dissemination of research data management standards, practices, tools and skills appropriate to their field.

SSHRC is accepting applications for the Research Data Management Capacity Building Initiative at the following Connection Grants deadlines:

• May 1^st, 2019;
• August 1^st, 2019.

Research data management supports the effective and responsible conduct of research, and increases the ability to store, find and reuse research data. A strong culture of data management will serve Canadian research excellence and support the development of social sciences and humanities insights. It will also benefit Canadian researchers working in international partnerships and collaborations as funders around the globe implement and strengthen data management requirements.

Research Data Management Capacity Building Initiative applications are subject to the Connection Grants evaluation criteria and scoring. In addition, as part of its assessment of the proposal’s relevance to the objectives of the Connection program, under the Connection Grants Challenge criteria, the merit review committee will evaluate the degree to which applications respond to one or more of the following objectives:

• develop and/or adopt data management standards, practices, tools and skills within and across disciplines and institutions, with a focus on the social sciences and humanities;
• connect researchers or students with data management professionals and service providers (e.g., librarians, programmers, specialists in research ethics, etc.), and other stakeholders (e.g., research subjects and users) to increase knowledge of data management;
• share and develop knowledge and skills relating to data collection and storage, metadata, preservation, retention, sharing, credit and citation;
• share and develop knowledge and skills related to the responsible ownership, control, access and possession of data used or created in the context of Indigenous research (e.g., the application of OCAP^® principles); and
• through other activities, enable the social sciences and humanities research community to strengthen its ability to fulfill the roles and responsibilities indicated in the Tri-Agency Statement of Principles on Digital Data Management, and the requirements proposed in the draft tri-agency research data management policy.

The World Education Research Association (WERA)invites proposals to establish International Research Networks (IRNs). The purpose of WERA-IRNs is to advance education research worldwide on specific scholarly topics. IRNs are collaborative groups of scholars working on a specific research topic primarily through virtual communication or other channels. IRNs synthesize knowledge, examine the state of research, and stimulate collaborations or otherwise identify promising directions in research areas of worldwide significance.

1. IRN Call for Proposals – 15 February 2019 Deadline

IRNs are required to produce a substantive report that sets forth the state of knowledge worldwide and promising research directions on the topic of the IRN. All IRNs are expected to prepare such a research synthesis report as the first task of their work. Other research activities or initiatives may vary, but an examination of the research worldwide on a topic is the initial contribution. Also, WERA-IRNs are expected to present their work at WERA symposia or keynote sessions or to meet at a WERA Focal Meeting held in cooperation with a WERA member association.

ELIGIBILITY TO CONSTITUTE AN IRN

IRN members must be individual members of WERA or members of a WERA member association. IRN members who are individual members of a member association of the European Educational Research Association also qualify as eligible IRN members. Individuals are encouraged to become WERA individual members, whether or not it is a requirement of eligibility.

To join WERA as an individual member visit www.weraonline.org

Submissions and Questions

WERA-IRN proposals must be submitted electronically via e-mail to wera@aera.net. Please include the surname(s) of the organizer(s) in the subject line of the e-mail in the format“WERA-IRN Proposal – SURNAME(S).”

Questions to the WERA Committee on International Research Networks should also be directed to wera@aera.net.

DEADLINE: 15 February 2019

Kind regards
WERA Secretariat
