the objective of the idea to innovation (i2i) grants  is to accelerate the pre-competitive development of promising technology originating from the university and college sector and promote its transfer to a new or established canadian company. the i2i grants provide funding to college and university faculty members to support research and development projects with recognized technology transfer potential. this is achieved through defined phases by providing crucial assistance in the early stages of technology validation and market connection.

if you are planning to apply to this program, please contact the economic development and innovation office early in the process.

sshrc postdoctoral fellowships support the most promising canadian new scholars in the social sciences and humanities and assist them in establishing a research base at an important time in their research careers.

sshrc postdoctoral fellowships provide stipendiary support to recent phd graduates who are:

• undertaking original research;
• publishing research findings;
• developing and expanding personal research networks;
• broadening their teaching experience;
• preparing for research-intensive careers within and beyond academia; and
• preparing to become competitive in national research grants competitions.

fellowships will normally be awarded to candidates affiliated with a university other than that which awarded the phd. sshrc postdoctoral fellowship awards are tenable at canadian or foreign universities and research institutions.

sshrc welcomes applications involving aboriginal research, as well as those involving research-creation.

connection grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. these events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage on research issues of value to those participating. events and outreach activities funded by a connection grant may often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects potentially eligible for funding through other sshrc funding opportunities.

connection grants proposals are expected to meet the objectives of the connection program.

connection grants support workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes or other events or outreach activities that facilitate:

• disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary exchanges in the humanities and social sciences;
• scholarly exchanges between those working in the social sciences and humanities and those working in other research fields;
• intersectoral exchanges between academic researchers in the humanities and social sciences and researchers and practitioners from the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors; and/or
• international research collaboration and scholarly exchanges between researchers, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and non-academic partners from other countries.

insight grants support research excellence in the social sciences and humanities. funding is available to both emerging and established scholars for long-term research initiatives of three to five years.

stable support for long-term research initiatives is central to advancing knowledge. it enables scholars to address complex issues pertaining to individuals and societies, and to further our collective understanding.

the insight grants funding opportunity supports research proposed by scholars and judged worthy of funding by their peers and/or other experts. insight grants research initiatives may be undertaken by an individual researcher or a team of researchers working in collaboration.

the horizon award supports junior-level scientists in conducting impactful research with the mentorship of an experienced cancer researcher (i.e., mentor). the horizon award challenges junior scientists to develop and implement research in the cancer field. this opportunity allows for junior investigators to develop a research project, investigate a problem or question in the field of cancer, and further their intellectual development as a cancer researcher of the future. under this award mechanism, the junior investigator is considered the principal investigator (pi), and the application should focus on the pi’s research and career development. it should be clear that the proposed research is intellectually designed by the pi with assistance from the mentor. preliminary data are not required. however, logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale for the proposed research must be demonstrated. clinical trials will not be supported by this mechanism.
