The James R. Mallory Research Grant for the Study of Parliament

The Canadian Study of Parliament Group, a non-profit, non-partisan organization that brings together parliamentary experts, academics, and public servants with an interest in the role, function and reform of parliamentary institutions, is pleased to announce the 2014 competition for the James R. Mallory Research Grant for the Study of Parliament.

The Mallory Grant is meant to inspire continued interest in the parliamentary system of government. The purposes of the grant are: to sponsor original research on parliamentary institutions in general and parliamentary government at the federal, provincial and territorial levels in Canada in particular; to promote the publication of such research in the publications of the Canadian Study of Parliament Group (CSPG); and to foster a broader understanding of parliamentary government and institutions among interested Canadians.

Applications are encouraged from informed observers of parliamentary institutions including academics, journalists, professionals and others with a demonstrable research background. The grant enables the recipient to employ research assistance, to acquire unique resources necessary for carrying out the research, and/or to spend research time at the Parliament in Ottawa and/or at the legislatures in the provincial and territorial capitals.
