Seed Funding

SEARCH Canada provides seed funding to support activities that further its organizational goals in three categories:

Projects

To facilitate completion and reporting of applied research and evaluation projects by participants of SEARCH programs (including Classic local and provincial projects and Custom projects).

Communities of Practice (CoPs)

To support ongoing network activity and collaboration within and beyond participants of SEARCH programs (both Classic and Custom). Communities of practice are “groups of people who share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their understanding and knowledge of this area by interacting.”

Knowledge Sharing Initiatives

To support local, in-person events that profile local applied research and evaluation projects and/or communities of practice, build local capacity for evidence informed practice, and facilitate networking.
