The Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN) is pleased to announce the recipients of research funding from Women and Gender Equality Canada for four individual projects and one team project.
The researchers will use the rich microdata available through CRDCN’s Research Data Centre (RDC) program to produce research reports in defined priority areas in order to support Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) evidence-based policy and program activities. WAGE has funded a total of $165,000 for the approved research projects.
Providing training and supporting the next generation of highly qualified personnel in data analysis and evidence-based policy making has remained central to CRDCN’s vision and mission. In recent years, in the context of the evolving data ecosystem, this training has in some ways become more critical than ever.
This strategic roadmap focuses on taking a harmonized approach to the research-related objectives set out in the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN) 2019-2024 strategic plan.
The roadmap reflects the valuable input received from the CRDCN Research Advisory Committee and Board of Directors. Based on its unique position in the research data ecosystem, CRDCN has a key role to play in: (i) providing leadership at the research-policy nexus; (ii) serving as a key partner in training; and (iii) demonstrating the value of research-policy collaboration and its benefits.
