LCI Research Committee

 The LCI Research Committee is made up of LCI members interested in educational research and scholarship.  This committee is open to all LCI members and all levels of research and scholarly experience.  The committee supports research and scholarship within the LCI community. The committee is charged with six key tasks:

  2. Support the Conference Planning committee as needed to determine conference research submissions deserving recognition. 

  3. Mentor the Student Council as needed in support of student research projects.

  4. Manage the mini grant program:

    1. Disseminate the call for proposals

    2. Identify reviewers for submitted proposals

    3. Make funding recommendations to the LCI Council based on reviewer feedback.

    4. Plan quarterly or biannual grantee meetings to review progress on grants

  5. Develop a group of LCI “research consultants” to provide advice for tasks outlined above.

  6. Identify possible approaches for sharing up-to-date published research at the annual meeting.
