SSHRC Partnership Development Grants

SPARC Support Currently Offered: Contact Us

SSHRC Partnership Development Grants (PDG) provide support to new or existing partnerships for initiatives that advance research, provide research training, and/or knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities.

Partnership Development Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Insight and/or the Connection programs.

Application Process

The Partnership Development Grant program follows a single application cycle each year with support beginning in October for the annual deadline on November 15.

Funding is available for projects ranging from 1 to 3 years in length, valued between $75,000 and $200,000. Applications 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.

Applications are adjudicated through a merit review process based on specific evaluation criteria. Applications involving Indigenous research may undergo a more tailored adjudication. 

Results are communicated in March of the following year. Applicants unsuccessful in a prior round of Partnership Development Grants may apply to UBC's internal bridge funding
