Description:

SSHRC actively supports connecting, disseminating, exchanging and co-creating knowledge to meet the needs of society. The aim is to ensure that people who stand to benefit from research results (e.g., policy-makers, business leaders, community leaders, educators, and members of the media, as well as academics in various fields) have the knowledge they need, when they need it, in useful forms.

Applicants must situate their proposals within one of three funding levels: under $50,000, $50,000 to $100,000, and over $100,000. There is no maximum value for the last category; however, applicants should ensure their plans can be implemented in one year.

Application Details: The Public Outreach Grants: Workshops and Conferences funding opportunity supports knowledge mobilization events directed primarily to non-academic audiences. Applicants are encouraged to describe how the proposed knowledge mobilization activities are expected to increase the capacity of selected audiences to understand and use research results. The Public Outreach Grants: Dissemination funding opportunity supports activities that help share the results of academic research with non-academic audiences. Applicants should consult the program officer to ensure that they are eligible for this funding opportunity.The deadline for the Public Outreach Summer Institute, Workshop and Conference Grants is November 16, 2010. Ensure that the information in your application is complete and accurate; SSHRC cannot accept additional information after the application deadline.
