Bringing Communities & Researchers together to help all Nova Scotians
- We let communities tell CLARI and its partner researchers what the priorities are, not the other way around.
- We focus on research that leads to concrete outcomes that help people and communities.
- We work with all NS post-secondary institutions. This allows us to do bigger things and explore common themes.
How CLARI works…
Local Partnerships
CLARI supports local research partnerships between community partners and faculty/ student researchers. We do this by connecting communities to expertise in our partner institutions and enabling collaboration through our grant funding.
Network Building
Nova Scotia post-secondary institutions support communities at home in many ways. However, we believe there is an untapped potential to bring researchers together from across the CLARI network to work with communities on shared issues through collaboratives.
Community Research
We provide modest research grants so that community partners can engage with post-secondary experts and work together on social and economic challenges of interest to the community partner. In many cases these relationships are sustained beyond CLARI projects.
