As a CURA project, the CGRF supported both community-led and academic action research.<\/p>\n
One stream of funding, just over $400,000, was invested community-led research projects in Kenora and Treaty 3 territory.\u00a0 17 Community Partner Projects were completed, and nearly 20 Community Small Grants were awarded to support community events and small projects.<\/p>\n
A second funding stream applied to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and undergraduate research assistants. Eight Masters of Natural Resources Management students and one Doctor of Natural Resources and Environmental Management were supported through the CGRF project. Several of these students remain actively employed in the Kenora and Treaty 3 area, and many have produced research products that continue to extend the impacts of their work in the region.<\/p>\n
