    Funded 2020-2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VxWTS_hHPA From Event Organizer(s): "On behalf of the Science FUNdamentals Foundation of Alberta, we would like to sincerely thank the Alberta Public Interest Research Group for being a Platinum Sponsor of Science FUNweek 2021. With the help of APIRG, we were able to reach over 11,500 participants! While many of our viewers included families and classrooms from the Edmonton area, our event also hosted attendees across Canada and from countries such as the United States, Ireland, Ukraine, and Lebanon. Through the support of APIRG, we have been able to fulfill our commitment to “provide accessible science education for all” during these truly unprecedented times. Adapting our annual science exhibition in accordance with COVID-19 public health directives proved challenging, and so receiving APIRG’s support during these uncertain times has aided our organization immensely. It has been incredibly inspiring to have teachers, parents and students express the impact of their Science FUNweek experiences. We are so grateful for your support of our event and accessible science education. This sponsorship will ensure financial sustainability for future FUNday events and has undoubtedly positively impacted the curious minds of many young scientists."

  • Understanding organizational responses in Edmonton to reports of hate crimes

    Funded 2021-2022 Understanding organizational responses in Edmonton to reports of hate crimes and/or incidents from the perspective of those reporting is a study that aims to describe the experiences of people who have reported hate crimes and/or incidents. The research questions are: What are the experiences of people who report hate crimes and/or incidents to organizations (e.g.,. police, social agencies, workplaces) in Edmonton? How do individuals who have reported hate crimes and/or incidents experience organizational responses to these reports? What are the implications of these experiences for organizations that respond to hate crimes and/or incidents? From Funding Recipient: "I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Alberta Public Interest Research Group for funding the compensation of research participants in a community-based study looking to understand the experiences of people who have reported hate crimes or incidents to organizations in Edmonton. It is my hope and the hope of my research partners that more knowledge in this area can inform the service delivery of organizations that receive reports of hate crimes and incidents. APIRG's support helped make this research a reality!"
