The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) has launched 2022 Partnership Grants Program to provide support for new and existing formal partnerships over four to seven years to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities.
Partnership Grants are intended for large teams of postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types that work in formal collaboration.
Types of Partnerships
There are two categories of partnerships that can request support:
- existing partnerships to foster new research and/or research-related partnership activities that are distinct from the partnership’s previous/ongoing partnership activities; and
- new partnerships to foster new research and/or research-related partnership activities that are undertaken by partnerships in their initial stages.
Funding Information
Partnership Grants undergo a two-stage adjudication process. Only applicants successful in Stage 1 will be invited to apply in Stage 2.
- Stage 1: Applications successful in Stage 1 are valued at up to $20,000. These funds help applicants successful in Stage 1 to prepare for the Stage 2 application, that is, to:
- further refine the question(s) to be addressed;
- establish partnership arrangements, a governance structure and/or an approach/methodology; and
- consolidate their collaborative activities.
- Stage 2 (by invitation only): Partnership Grants in Stage 2 are valued at up to $500,000 per year over four to seven years, up to a total of $2,500,000.
