The Network brings together key experts from different sectors and backgrounds, to share and build on their experiences and ideas. They work together to achieve the following Network goals:

• To support scientific research and knowledge that is focused on improving and sustaining children's language and literacy development;
• To create a critical mass of highly qualified experts in Canada by contributing to the training and education of specialists in language and literacy development;
• To facilitate the transfer of research based knowledge to educators, practitioners and all those who have a vested interest in the welfare of children.

The Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network will apply its resources to:

• Invest in multidisciplinary projects and leverage the knowledge available across The Network;
• Invest in Core Facilities, and develop and make available complex technologies that would not be cost-effective for individual investigators;
• Provide funds to train students in the language and literacy field and create the next generation of child language and literacy experts;
• Create linkages between the research, education, clinical and partner communities that will quickly translate findings into action;
• Promote partnerships with industry, education and health advocacy groups, service delivery agencies, not-for-profit organizations and government.
