The CAIS School Innovation Grant Program (SIG) supports the creation of knowledge within the CAIS network
CAIS invites applications from individuals in CAIS Schools focused on innovative projects in their schools. A committee of educational and operational leaders in CAIS schools will mentor the new research cohort and guide them through their research over the 2023-2024 school year.
The application due date is October 30, 2023. Multiple applications from a single school are acceptable.
Key program features:
- Grants for internal school research
- Mentoring by CAIS School leaders
- Webinar series for sharing research outcomes
- Possible presentation opportunities at CAIS National Leadership Conferences
- Option to gain a Leadership Institute (LI) Diploma credit after completion of program
Concurrent with the new cohort of researchers will be the continued work of grant recipients from the 2022-2023 school year. This cohort will share their research process from last year, outcomes and plans for implementation with the CAIS Community through an interactive webinar series over the course of the year. This cohort will also mentor the new cohort through both the application and research process.
