Awards » Dr. Graham Branton Research Award

SPONSORED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA

The Research Award was instituted in 1989 both to recognize significant contributions by the Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE) members to scholarly research in Co-operative Education, and to encourage such research.  The award was renamed the Dr. Graham Branton Research Award in 1996, in his memory.

Significant contribution would normally represent a research study that has important implications for, or a body of research that adds to the understanding and/or enhancement of co-operative education at the post-secondary level in Canada.

While the award does not contain any monetary value, it recognises the recipient’s contribution to research of value to co-operative education.

Eligibility

  1. Nominee and Nominator must be members of CAFCE.
  2. For an individual award, the candidate must have been a member of CAFCE for at least 6 months prior to submission of a nomination.
  3. In the case of team research, a joint award can be given to a team if all members of the team are members of CAFCE. If a team member(s) is not a CAFCE member, the non-member’s contributions will be acknowledged by CAFCE. 

The CAFCE 2010/11 Awards Presentation will take place during the CAFCE AGM on Thursday, November 17, 2011 at the University of Victoria.

The 2011/12 Dr. Graham Branton Research Award Nomination Guide and Form will be available in 2012.
