Deadline: 1 May 2017
The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSRC) is currently accepting applications for its program “Connection Grants” to support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives.
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
- international research collaboration and scholarly exchanges with researchers, students and non-academic partners from other countries
Funding Information
For Connection Grants supporting events, the maximum value is $25,000 over one year. The minimum request required is $7,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications may be submitted by institutions or individual applicants and teams.
- Institutional Connection Grants applications may be submitted by an institution to conduct an event or outreach activity, or series thereof, in order to attain strategic objectives relevant to the institution’s mission and mandate. Applications must be submitted by an eligible Canadian institution. The project director identified by the institution prepares the application on behalf of his/her institution (the applicant), and is responsible for the overall leadership of the project.
