Description

Exchange Grants are intended to subsidize the cost of travel required to support national and international knowledge mobilization within and/or beyond the research community. It is the expectation that applicants who receive an Exchange grant will apply for an external SSHRC grant (any program) within three years of the end of their Exchange grant.

Exchange grants are not available to reimburse travel expenses/claims which have occurred in the past. The proposed dates of travel for September 2019 competition: *October 1, 2019 to February 28, 2020. 

*If travel begins before the first eligible date of 'proposed date of travel' window, PI must provide clear explanation, including proof of invitations etc., as to the reason the application was not submitted to previous Exchange Grant competitions where proposed travel dates were eligible.  Travel must conclude within 'proposed date of travel' window ie. not before.

Please see SSHRC Institutional Grant [2] for deadlines and proposed dates of travel for all four SSHRC SIG Exchange competitions.

NOTE: SSHRC SIG Exchange Grant instructions have been updated.  Please read before completing application.

Eligibility

All regular faculty members, including probationary, tenured and contractually-limited term appointees, are eligible. Contractually-limited term applicants and postdoctoral fellows are eligible, provided they are employed under a contract with the University for a period sufficiently long to make it feasible to carry out the proposed research project and/or travel. Professors emeriti are also eligible for this program. Visiting fellows and scholars are not eligible.

**Successful applicants who receive SIG-Exchange funding are expected to apply to an external SSHRC grant competition within three (3) years of the end date of their SIG-Exchange.**

Maximum Project Value

$1,500 will be made to successful applicants in any one calendar year.

Applicants may only submit one (1) application in each competition, but a single application might cover a number of activities all leading to the development of one (1) external SSHRC application. 

Exchange funds awarded are to be spent within 60 days after the date of the conference or award date (whichever is later). Funds not utilized within this 60-day period will be recalled.

Indirect Costs

Special Notes

SIG applications may be used to support research and research-related activities in one to several of the disciplines, thematic areas, approaches or subject areas eligible for SSHRC funding. Please see Subject Matter Eligibility [3] for more information.
