Co-operative Research Inventory Project
The co-operative research inventory project was a joint undertaking between the Co-operatives Secretariat, Centre Indisciplinaire de Recherche et d'Information sur les Enterprises Collectives (CIRIEC-Canada) and Centre de recherche sur les innovations sociales dans l'économie sociale, les enterprises et les syndicates (CRISES), the British Columbia Institute for Co-operative Studies (BCICS) and the Center for the Study of Co-operatives (CSC), acting as project lead.
The inventory provides an evaluation tool for the assessment of applications made to the Co-operative Development Initiative (CDI), a new program of the Co-operatives Secretariat, that offers advisory services and grant funding for innovative co-operative research and development initiatives. As well, the inventory will assist in establishing research priorities for the Co-operatives Secretariat
