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 2022-2023 school year.

Concurrent with that process will be the continued work of grant recipients from the 2021-2022 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.

Please see the CAIS School Innovation Grants page on CAIS Connect for the full program summary, calendar of events and links to register for the Webinar Series.
