SSHRC Partnership Engage Grants

SSHRC's Partnership Engage Grants are designed to address the short-term needs, challenges and opportunities of researchers and institutions. These grants are meant for a researcher and a single partner organization from the not-for-profit, public or private sector, and put a strong emphasis on the relevance to, and involvement of, partner organizations. With a streamlined application process, they offer a quicker adjudication period and lighter administrative requirements. They have a value of between $7,000 and $25,000 and 4 competitions are held per year.

Partner Organizations. Only one Canadian or international organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sector can be involved as a partner organization. Postsecondary institutions, including organizations or associations affiliated with them, and scholarly associations are not eligible as partner organizations.

Partner organizations are expected to support the activities of the partnership through cash and/or in-kind contributions.
