Description:

The broad purpose of the pilot program is to support and develop excellence in research in artistic disciplines. An artistic discipline includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following categories: architecture, design (including interior design), creative writing, visual arts (e.g., painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, textiles), performing arts (dance, music, theatre), film, video, performance art, interdisciplinary arts, media and electronic arts, and new artistic practices. This list is not exhaustive and applicants are encouraged to communicate with the program officer when the relevance of proposed projects to the program objectives is uncertain.

Grants are available for programs of research/creation of up to three years. The value of these grants is up to a maximum of $100,000 per year, but totalling not more than $250,000 in a three-year period. SSHRC welcomes both small- and large-scale projects.

Application Details:

The program invites artist-researchers affiliated with Canadian postsecondary institutions, within a broad range of disciplines, to apply for research grants of up to three years? duration to support research/creation. Except for researchers at Canadian postsecondary institutions that do not receive a SSHRC Institutional Grant, the program requires a minimum budget of $7,000 in at least one of the three years.

Only those who fulfill the definition of artist-researcher are eligible to apply to this program. Humanities and social science scholars affiliated with Canadian postsecondary institutions who engage in research/creation are also eligible to apply. Research proposals that do not involve a significant creative component should be submitted to one of the Standard Research Grant committees or to another appropriate SSHRC program. Proposals that do not meet the definition of research/creation will be ruled ineligible for this program.

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM

NOTE: Letters of Intent and Full Applications are to be processed through Research Development Services for institutional signatures, and are to be accompanied by a completed RDAF form (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean signatures). Requests for Institutional signatures should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline.
