Over the years, the CAC has partnered with various stakeholders to conduct or find participants for internal and external research projects, to offer peer-reviewed communications opportunities and letters of support for researchers to funding agencies.

Possible Research Support Options

• The CAC as a partner in a research project (may require a formal agreement)
• Conduct research on the CAC or on CAC’s programs and policies (may require a formal agreement)
• Connection to a specific partner or portfolio lead (requires contact approval)
• Access a pool of external jury members (Masters, Ph.D, calls for research proposals)
• Research participants for your projects through the CAC’s communication channels (requires strong alignment with Sport Coaching Research)

How does it work?

CAC reviews requests on a weekly basis and responds within 10 business days.
