the dismantling barriers and improving the quality of education for women and girls in fragile, conflict and crisis situations call for proposals is part of canada’s $400-million commitment to education for women and girls in crisis and conflict situations, announced in june 2018 at the g7 summit in charlevoix, quebec. the call aligns with canada’s feminist international assistance policy and aims to support a sustainable development approach to increasing access and reducing barriers to quality education for women and girls in fragile, conflict and crisis situations, including in refugee-hosting countries. this call also aligns with commitments made by canada at the global disability summit in 2018 to increasing access to quality education for women and girls with disabilities and ensuring that their interests and priorities are taken into account.

the total amount of funding available under this call for proposals is up to $80 million over five years. global affairs canada may fund any number of proposals or none, up to the maximum funding available. however, the department expects to fund up to seven or eight initiatives with project durations of at least three years up to a maximum of five years.

you must submit your proposal through the partners@international portal before 12 p.m. (noon) eastern time on wednesday, february 13, 2019. we will not accept any late submissions. please read the portal instructions carefully, and plan to submit your application at least three business days before the closing date to ensure that technical difficulties do not prevent you from submitting your proposal by the deadline.

objectives

this call will support development assistance projects in fragile, conflict and crisis situations, including in refugee-hosting countries. the call is intended to promote greater coherence between humanitarian actors and host governments and to increase access and reduce barriers to quality education for women and girls. projects must clearly demonstrate collaboration with one or more local organization(s) or include a plan outlining how this collaboration will be formed.

please note that humanitarian assistance is not eligible under this call for proposals and will continue to be funded through normal humanitarian channels.

your proposal must align with at least one of the following three programming pillars in fragile, conflict and crisis situations, including in refugee-hosting countries:

1. barriers: address harmful social norms and other barriers that hinder the demand for, and access to, education for girls and women in order to increase the equitable access to safe, secure, quality and inclusive education and learning opportunities for girls, adolescent girls and women, including those with disabilities.
2. systems: expand and improve the provision of inclusive, gender-responsive, safe, accessible, equitable and quality pre-primary, primary and secondary education.
3. skills: increase girls’ and women’s equitable access to quality gender-responsive skills development and higher education.

the government of canada is accepting applications from organizations interested in receiving contribution funding from the pan-canadian stream of the new horizons for seniors program (nhsp). eligible organizations can apply for $500,000 to $5 million for a project consisting of a 3 to 5 year collective impact initiative.

the pan-canadian stream of the nhsp has approximatively $8 million available per year for five years to distribute to eligible organizations. it is anticipated that up to ten organizations submitting collective impact initiatives will receive funding through this process.

objective

this process seeks to ensure that seniors can benefit from and contribute to the quality of life in their communities. more specifically, this process seeks to:

• build the collective capacity of organizations to recognize and address barriers to social inclusion faced by seniors;
• promote improved access to information, programs and services for seniors to enhance their social inclusion within their communities;
• support action research to better understand effective approaches for increasing the level of social inclusion of seniors in their communities;
• develop innovative approaches to engage and retain senior volunteers to improve their social inclusion in their communities; and
• address systemic barriers that contribute to the social exclusion of seniors.

to determine how funding will be allocated, we are launching a two-step application process. this first step is a competitive call for concepts. you are invited to provide high level information about your project to determine the need and complexity of an issue that is impacting seniors' well-being. complex issues suited to these projects are those that are not easy to resolve, have persisted over time and cannot be solved in isolation. as this is a competitive process, not all applications will be retained.

if you are successful in the first step of this application process, we will invite you to develop a full project proposal. at that time, you will be required to provide additional information and go into further details about your proposed concept, such as a well-articulated plan for funding collaborating organizations. additional information and documents about the project will also be requested. another document with specific instructions will be provided to those applicants.

sshrc impact awards are designed to build on and sustain canada’s research-based knowledge culture in all research areas of the social sciences and humanities. the awards recognize outstanding researchers and celebrate their research achievements, research training, knowledge mobilization, and outreach activities funded partially or entirely by sshrc.

award funds are to be used for activities that promote and further develop the work being honoured. in recognition of the crucial role that postsecondary institutions play as researchers’ knowledge mobilization partners, at least 10 per cent of each award must be used to promote the recipient’s research achievements. individual recipients and their institutions may choose to devote additional funds, including a higher percentage of the award funds, to these activities.

a multidisciplinary jury made up of distinguished individuals from academia, as well as the private, not-for-profit and public sectors, from canada and abroad, will select award recipients according to the selection criteria associated with each of the five awards listed below.

prior to announcing the award winners, sshrc will disclose the names of the finalists for all awards but the gold medal. nominees must, as part of the nomination package, consent to sshrc using their name and nomination information in related promotional activities.
