RIC Engaged Scholarship Award

The Research Impact Canada Engaged Scholarship Award for Graduate Students (RIC Award) recognizes graduate students that conduct research projects following engaged scholarship principles. These principles lead to increased awareness of audiences beyond academia or changes in stakeholder actions, practices, guidelines or policies. This award recognizes engaged scholarship (making research with the people who benefit from it), co-creation of knowledge or integrated knowledge translation efforts among graduate students of Canadian member institutions, regardless of discipline. The award seeks to recognize students who are leading or have led significant research projects that resulted in increased awareness of targeted audiences or changes in actions, practices, guidelines, attitudes, or policies. Recipients will be featured on the RIC website, promoted on social media channels, and invited to present their research at a virtual webinar.
