Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network
Invitation for Letters of Intent for Projects to begin January 1, 2021

Background

The Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network is a community of researchers and partners seeking to improve the language and literacy skills of Canadian children. The Network is funded through the Government of Canada’s Networks of Centres of Excellence Program NCE. The broad objectives of our national network are to understand the factors that support the development of good language and literacy skills and to apply this knowledge to facilitate programs and practices to strengthen the language, communication and literacy skills of Canada's children.

The Network's research program integrates contributions from the many sectors involved in children's language and literacy development, including basic and applied scientists, educators, clinicians, students, parents and caregivers, and industrial and government partners. The Network covers the full spectrum of literacy and language research through more than 40 current projects, organized into five research themes.
