SSHRC has launched the February 2022 Partnership Grants-Stage One competition.
Partnership Grants provide support for new and existing formal partnerships to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization through mutual co-operation and sharing of intellectual leadership. These grants are intended for large teams working in formal collaboration between post-secondary institutions and/or organizations of various types.
Deadlines (Stage 1):
Faculty Research Office: at least 3-4 weeks before agency deadline if you wish feedback on your application – submit to Karen Kueneman
Research Development:

SSHRC (stage 1): February 10, 2022 – Western Research will submit to SSHRC
Amount: Partnership Grants involve a two-stage application process. Stage 1 awards grants valued up to $20,000 to applicants invited to prepare a Formal Application (Stage 2). The value of awards at the Stage 2 is up to $500,000 per year over four to seven years, for a maximum total of up to $2.5 million over seven years.
Eligibility: A Project Director must be eligible to hold a research account at Western. An individual may not, in a calendar year, submit, as applicant (principal investigator/project director), an application for both an Partnership Grant and a Partnership Development Grant.
