Applicants invited to submit a formal application are required to demonstrate that they have already begun to confirm the 35 per cent minimum additional cash and/or in-kind contributions, and to indicate how they will secure the remaining resources during the life of the grant.

Application Details:

The proposals must meet the objectives put forward in one of the following programs or a combination thereof: Insight: To build knowledge and understanding about people, societies and the world by supporting research excellence in all subject areas eligible for funding from SSHRC. Connection: To realize the potential of social sciences and humanities research for intellectual, cultural, social and economic influence, benefit and impact on and beyond the campus by supporting specific activities and tools that facilitate the multidirectional flow of research knowledge.
