IPPN

Published: 31 May 2007

We are delighted to announce details of the IPPN Research Bursary for 2007. This is our 4th Annual Research Bursary for school leaders and this year we are broadening the nomination process to allow peer nominations. This means that if you are not eager to put yourself forward for a Bursary, you have the opportunity to nominate another IPPN member whom you believe to be worthy of the opportunity.

Key Points to Consider

1. Can you identify some aspect of School Leadership, Management or Administration worthy of research which if developed and shared would benefit IPPN and colleagues in other schools?
2. Is there an area in which you have a special interest and have developed good practice?
3. Is there someone you know who is an exponent of good practice and whom you feel should be given the opportunity to document and share their knowledge & skills?

Would 15 days substitute cover and €5000 help? This is your chance!

Bursary Details

• There are 2 Bursaries on offer, each to the value of €5,000 and including 15 days substitute cover
• Candidates for the 2007 Bursary Competition can be nominated by a colleague or by self nomination using the attached form
• In the case of a peer nomination, you must have the nominee's signature indicating their agreement to be nominated
