The SSHRC Partnership Engage Grant supports collaboration between researchers and a single partner organization from the not-for-profit, public or private sector.
Partnership Engage Grants provide short-term and timely support for partnered research activities that will inform decision-making at a single partner organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sector. These small-scale, stakeholder-driven partnerships are meant to respond to immediate needs and time constraints facing organizations in non-academic sectors. In addressing an organization-specific need, challenge and/or opportunity, these partnerships encourage non-academic organizations and postsecondary researchers to access each other’s unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities on topics of mutual interest.
Application Process
There are four application cycles per year: September 15, December 15, March 15 and June 15. Partnership Engage Grants are valued at $7,000 to $25,000 for one year.
Decisions are communicated to at the end of each funding cycle (November, February, May, August)
