CVSRD was a sister research centre in the Faculty of Public Affairs, created in 1999, to conduct research on and for the voluntary sector.\u00a0 CVSRD was home to one of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\u2019s first Community-University Research Alliance (CURA) projects on voluntary sector evaluation, from 2000 to 2005. CVSRD led numerous initiatives focused on process evaluation in the voluntary sector, and ran student exchanges programs with civil society organizations in Europe, the United States and Mexico. CVSRD, in association with the Carleton School of Public Policy and Administration, ran the first \u2018Intro to the Nonprofit Sector\u2019 course (still taught today in the School). Thid course eventually gave rise to the Master\u2019s degree in Non-Profit Leadership (MPNL) under the guidance of Professor Susan Phillips. Over time, the work of 3ci and CVSRD converged, leading to a formal merger between the two research centres, under the 3ci name, in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The predecessor organization to 3ci was the Centre for the Study of Training, Investment and Economic Restructuring (CSTIER), a multi-disciplinary organized research unit in Carleton University\u2019s Faculty of Public Affairs and Management.
