partnership engage grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight program and the connection program. please note that partnership engage grants cannot respond exclusively to the objectives of the connection program.

these grants provide short-term and timely support for partnered research activities that will inform decision-making at a single partner organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sector. the small-scale, stakeholder-driven partnerships supported through partnership engage grants are meant to respond to immediate needs and time constraints facing organizations in non-academic sectors. in addressing an organization-specific need, challenge and/or opportunity, these partnerships let non-academic organizations and postsecondary researchers access each other’s unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities on topics of mutual interest.

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

partnership development grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight and/or the connectionprogram.

these grants provide support over one to three years to teams/partnerships, led by a project director, to:

• develop research and/or related activities in the social sciences and humanities, including knowledge mobilization and the meaningful involvement of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and emerging scholars, by fostering new partnerships with existing and/or potential partners; or
• design and test new partnership approaches for research and/or related activities that may result in best practices or models that either can be adapted by others or have the potential to be scaled up to a regional, national or international level.

partnership funding is intended for teams working in formal partnership between postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types. for more information, see the definitions for formal partnership and partner organization.

connection grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the connection program.

these 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.

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 with researchers, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and non-academic partners from other countries.

sshrc postdoctoral fellowships are expected to respond to the objectives of the talent program.

these 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.

the purpose of these fellowships is to 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 grant competitions.

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

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

insight grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight program.

insight grants support research excellence in the social sciences and humanities. funding is available to both emerging and established scholars for research initiatives of two 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.

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

applicants choose from one of two streams, depending on the amount of funding required. both streams will be adjudicated by the same committees, and will receive the same rigorous level of merit review. the deadlines and application process are identical for both; however, the targeted success rate for stream a is higher than for stream b.
