The CRFM will also favour research projects that are likely to result in publication in an academic journal or periodical or other relevant publication. The CRFM funds original research projects that enhance the understanding of the francophone experience in a minority context. Within this general orientation, the CRFM will give priority this year to projects focusing on the following issues: - Relations between francophones and the M‚tis or the comparison of their respective minority situations - Cultural diversity within the francophonie canadienne - Francophone heath issues in minority contexts
