Partnership GrantsFor More Information
To learn more about the requirements for this competition, please visit SSHRC’s Partnership Grants webpage.
Description
Partnership Grant proposals are expected to respond to the objectives of the Insight program or the Connection program, or a combination thereof. Proposals exclusively for partnered research training initiatives are expected to respond, instead, to the objectives of the Talent program. Please see the Insight, Connection and Talent program descriptions for more details. Partnership Grants 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 through mutual co-operation and sharing of intellectual leadership, as well as through resources as evidenced by cash and/or in-kind contributions.
Eligibility
Partnership Grants are awarded to Institutions
Funding Availability
Between $500,000 and $2.5 million.
Indirect Costs
There are no indirect costs on the funding provided by SSHRC, however, indirect costs may apply to the funding provided by partners.
Project Duration
4-7 years
Special Notes
- Applicants at the letter of intent stage are expected to include a proposed plan to secure, over and above the budget requested from SSHRC, a minimum of 35 per cent in additional resources from sources other than SSHRC during the life of the grant (four to seven years). As an example, if $1 million is requested from SSHRC, a minimum of $350,000 in additional cash and/or in-kind support must be secured from partner organizations, resulting in an actual total project budget of $1,350,000. SSHRC recognizes that the project can grow beyond that amount as additional partner organizations become involved over the life of the grant.
