Description
Following the launch of the 2016 Digging into Data Challenge, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), in collaboration with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec - Nature et technologies/Fonds de recherche du Québec - Société et culture (FRQNT/FRQSC) has announced it will be offering three webinars for Canadian researchers interested in applying to this international funding opportunity.
SSHRC, NSERC and FRQNT/FRQSC, see the competition as an opportunity to support research projects that use "big data" to address questions in the social and natural sciences, humanities and engineering. This research is expected to involve sets of data so large and/or complex that traditional processing applications are inadequate. These data sets can include sources such as texts, images, music, photographs, audio or audiovisual data.
SSHRC and/or NSERC-eligible project directors can apply for up to $100,000 from each funding agency for the project. If the project lead is based in Quebec, the project leader can apply for an additional supplement of up to $75,000 from the FRQSC/FRQNT, bringing the total maximum Canadian funding for a project to $275,000.
More information is available on the Trans-Atlantic Platform website.
SSHRC invites interested researchers and their research offices to join Canadian webinars in April 2016. No registration is required, so you can drop in at any time.
