Partnership Development Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Research Partnerships program.
These grants provide support over one to three years to teams/partnerships, led by a project director, to:
develop research and/or related activities in the social sciences and humanities—these can include knowledge mobilization and the meaningful involvement of students and emerging scholars—by fostering new partnerships with existing and/or potential partners; or
design and test new partnership approaches for research and/or related activities that can result in best practices or models—these can either be adapted by others or have the potential to be scaled up to a regional, national or international level.
Applicants must complete the application form in accordance with accompanying application instructions. Applications must be submitted electronically by an authorized research grants officer, or equivalent, from the applicant’s institution, or by a representative of the not-for-profit organization that has financial signing authority and is not participating in the project.
Eligible PhD students and postdoctoral researchers can submit their applications directly to SSHRC.
Applicants needing help while preparing their application should communicate with SSHRC well in advance of the application deadline.
Applications must demonstrate the following:
Quality and commitment of formal partnerships
Applicants should include relevant documentation to allow informed evaluation of the quality and level of commitment of the proposed formal partnerships.
Applicants must include evidence of formal partnership in their application. Evidence can include, but is not limited to:
Institutional and partner organization contributions
Applicants are expected to include a plan to seek and secure cash and/or in-kind contributions for their initiative during the life of the grant. While there is no minimum contribution requirement, institutions and their partner organizations are expected to demonstrate that a formal partnership currently exists, or is in the process of being developed, by supporting the activities of the formal partnership through cash and/or in-kind support.
