Good morning all!

We are excited to announce that the SJC Research Consortium now has its very own page on the CUNY ISLG website!

On this page, you will find a detailed description of what the SJC Research Consortium is, a list of current Consortium and Research Review Committee members, and a link directly to published products from past Consortium projects.

As a part of the new webpage, we have also launched a new process for soliciting ideas and approaches from Consortium members – an opportunity to submit letters of intent (LOIS) to pitch research projects to the ISLG Consortium team! CUNY ISLG will now accept LOIs for research proposals from the current Consortium members on a rolling basis throughout the calendar year. These LOIs are intended to be short 2-3 page submissions describing research ideas that touch on one more of the SJC priority areas and advance SJC research goals and objectives, particularly around knowledge development. 

The requirements and guidelines for submitting LOIs as well as information on the review process can be found here. 

In addition to this new opportunity, the Research Consortium will still regularly release broader RFWPs to the Consortium membership (and some of these ideas may come directly from submitted LOIs that share a similar theme or focus). 

Have a wonderful weekend!
