CIRA's Policy to Support Research and Publication:

Preamble

• To foster the development of research and of scholarly publications in industrial relations in Canada and in accordance with Section 2 of its Statutes, in 1998 the Canadian Industrial Relations Association set up a fund to support research and publication.
• In 1998, the fund was set up from a $10.00 levy on annual membership dues.

Criteria

• In addition to the customary criterion of academic quality, CIRA aims to support the publication of projects which
  • concern Canada,
  • are of general interest for the industrial relations community,
  • focus on an emerging issue,
  • and are ideally written in French and English

Procedure

• CIRA provides funding to only one project at a time. In the final phase of a work's production, CIRA will invite its members to submit research proposals for the next publishing project to its Secretariat.
• On recommendation of the Research Policy Committee, CIRA's Executive Committee will choose the project to be financed. The decision will be announced at the Members' Annual General Meeting.
• CIRA's support will take the form of a promise to the publisher to purchase a copy of the completed work for every CIRA member.
