Partnership Grants
James Milner, Department of Political Science, has been awarded one of 17 Partnership Grants nationwide. Milner will receive $2,499,826 in funding to help amplify the agency of those most affected by displacement and to support an inclusive, interdisciplinary, collaborative and localized approach to the co-production of knowledge. His work aims to inform forced migration research and the global refugee regime, leading to more effective, legitimate and accountable research, policy and practice.
This grant will further the work he is conducting as Project Director of the Local Engagement Refugee Research Network (LERRN). Co-directed by Rez Gardi from Refugees Seeking Equal Access at the Table (R-SEAT), the project will include over 90 co-investigators, collaborators and partners in Canada and around the world, in addition to 10 other researchers from Carleton.
The Partnership Grants program provides support for new and existing formal partnerships over four to seven years to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization in the sciences and humanities.
