The EIS Action Research Grants scheme is a funding stream designed to support practitioner action research amongst EIS members.
The purpose of the grants is to facilitate both learning and action, and in doing so, offer teaching professionals the opportunity for personal and professional development.
Below you can find reports written by EIS Action Researchers on a wide variety of topics, as well as further professional learning opportunities related to action research.
Applications for the 2020-21 Action Research Grants scheme have now closed. Information and guidance on forthcoming research grants opportunities will be made available via member bulletins.
