Deadline for completed applications extended to February 28, 2010.
The Centre for Women's and Gender Studies (CWAGS) at the University of British Columbia has established a Community Visitors Program (CVP) as part of its outreach initiatives. The CVP is intended to assist community-based and grass roots organizations in research initiatives that could be undertaken using the resources of the Centre and the university.
The CVP offers wage replacement for up to two-months for one staff member in a community-based organization which will thus be able to hire a replacement. The staff person will be affiliated with the Centre and be able to focus on the development of new programs, the design of new projects, the analysis of current policies or trends, or the preparation of discussion papers for public consumption or policy-makers.
If you would like to discuss potential proposal ideas with the Director of CWAGS prior to submission please contact Gillian Creese (creese@interchange.ubc.ca) no later than February 12, 2010.
Applications should be addressed to Community Visitors Program, UBC Centre for Women's and Gender Studies, 1896 East Mall, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, V6T 1Z1. E-mail applications (sent to jdc@interchange.ubc.ca) are encouraged.
