Round Five of the John Coolahan Research Support Framework

The John Coolahan Research Support Framework marks the immense contribution of Professor John Coolahan to the field of education at home and abroad. His work, life and energy are an inspiration for all who care about teaching, learning and research.

The framework offers support to teachers and others in using existing research to inform their practice, or in carrying out new research, either in collaboration with others or independently. 

Round Five of the framework was redesigned as two separate but complementary schemes. In 2021, the Teaching Council launched the fifth round of the Research Support Framework making €100,000 available for teachers and others engaging in and with educational research. 

A list of the projects which received funding under the fifth round of the John Coolahan Research Support Framework is available here.
