Program

Exchange Grants

Description

Exchange Grants (formerly "Travel 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 a 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 May 2018 competition will fall between June 1 - November 30, 2018. 

Please see the SSHRC Institutional Grant [1] webpage for deadlines and proposed dates of travel for all four SSHRC SIG Exchange competitions.

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.

Maximum Project Value

Exchange Grants: $1,500 will be made to successful applicants in any one calendar year. Applicants may only submit one application in each competition. 

Indirect Costs

0%

Project Duration

Travel 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.

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 [2] for more information.
