Proposed projects may involve, but are not limited to, the following types of research activities: 

  • case studies; 
  • pilot initiatives; and 
  • critical analyses of existing research. 

Projects can also involve national and international research collaboration, and the exploration of new ways of producing, structuring and mobilizing knowledge within and across disciplines and sectors. 

SSHRC welcomes applications involving Indigenous research, as well as those involving research-creation. 


Eligibility

How to Apply

The Office of Research Services (ORS) treats the SSHRC Insight Grant, the NSERC Discovery and NRS Grants, and the CIHR Project Grant differently from all other external competitions. For these competitions, the NOI does not require an ORS checklist and can be submitted directly to the agency portal without Institutional review.
