Description:

Partnership Development Grant proposals are expected to respond to the objectives of the Insight program or the Connection program, or a combination thereof. Please see the Insight and Connection program descriptions for more details. Partnership Development Grants provide support over one to three years to teams/partnerships, led by a project director, to: develop research and related activities in the social sciences and humanities, including knowledge mobilization and the meaningful involvement of students and new scholars, by fostering new partnerships for research and related activities involving 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.

SSHRC continues to recognize the value of research throughout all of the social sciences and humanities, as well as in its current priority areas. Applicants are asked to indicate in their application form whether their research falls within one of SSHRC?s priority areas. This information is gathered for reporting purposes and may also assist SSHRC in identifying applications for either additional support, a more tailored adjudication, or both. If it is determined that a proposal is not aligned with the parameters of the priority area, the proposal will nevertheless remain eligible within the Partnership Development Grants funding opportunity. Please see SSHRC guidelines for greater detail.

Application Details:

SSHRC invites applicants and their partners who wish to propose formaldisciplinary, interdisciplinary, interinstitutional, international and/or cross-sector partnership arrangements to apply for support through this funding opportunity. Funds are available to support a variety of formal partnership development initiatives in all of the disciplines and themes eligible for funding at SSHRC. Within the Partnership Development Grants funding opportunity, there are two distinct categories of partnerships that may request support: existing and new.

Applications must be submitted by the applicant (project director) on behalf of the partners of the formal partnership. Applicants and partners must complete the application form (available under Apply once the Partnership Development Grants competition opens) and follow the accompanying instructions.
