The Caucasus Research Resource Centers program (CRRC) is a network of research, resource and training centers established in the capital cities of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia with the goal of strengthening social science research and public policy analysis in the South Caucasus.
A partnership between the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Eurasia Partnership Foundation, and local universities, the CRRC network offers scholars and practitioners stable opportunities for integrated research, training and collaboration in the region.
The CRRC Fellowship Program was launched in 2004 to support outstanding researchers in the South Caucasus interested in pursuing original policy-oriented research. CRRC gives out grants to fellows to analyze policy relevant issues in economics, sociology, demography and other social science related fields. Fellows often use data gathered under the CRRC Data Initiative as well as new and existing data sources to complete their research. Grantees are selected through a competitive process of both peer review and a selection committee of leading practitioners and researchers.
Blog
In November 2006, CRRC launched a blog. From Nairobi to Sydney and from Bishkek to Los Angeles, the blog now attracts a worldwide readership and is often picked up by other blogs. The blog aims to summarize research on the South Caucasus for those interested in the region who do not have enough time to read all of the fascinating research being done. The blog also provides insights and commentary we see here on the ground. We welcome your visit! You can find the blog by clicking here
Moodle
Moodle’s creators describe it as “an Open Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principals, to help educators create effective online learning communities.” Universities, professors and institutions throughout the world use Moodle as a tool for teaching and training.
To increase it reach, promote new technologies and further develop South Caucasus research communities, in 2007 CRRC joined the list of over 200,000 Moodle users. CRRC now uses Moodle as an innovative method to provide training while administering its Fellowship Program. CRRC also employs Moodle for managing research projects and for developing local core social science training modules in the region. To explore, CRRC’s Moodle platform, click here
