Application Details: |
The program offers two support mechanisms: Development Grants and Research Grants. Development Grants support the development of research partnerships in their initial, developmental stages. Projects are expected to develop knowledge with respect to Aboriginal research and related issues.
Research Grants support research and the development of excellence in research activities in the social sciences and humanities on Aboriginal issues. Applicants are also invited to describe in their proposal what role traditional knowledge will have in their project. All applications to this pilot program must include university- or college-based scholars and participants from Aboriginal communities. Such communities may be defined on the basis of geography or common interests. During any single competition, a researcher may apply for either a development grant or a research grant, but not both. However, a researcher may participate as a co-investigator or collaborator on an unlimited number of projects.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM. |
