SSHRC continually posts open-topic and strategic-topic research funding opportunities on its website. SSHRC research grants fall into two programs: Insight Research and Research Partnerships.
Internal deadlines apply for all SSHRC funding opportunities. Deadlines and related application information and resources are available on the internal SSHRC Application Resources Sharepoint (log in required). Please note that in some cases internal deadlines are as much as 5 weeks prior to the SSHRC deadline due to matching and/or research security considerations.
If you plan to apply, please let the UW SSHRC team from the Office of Research know as soon as possible.
Insight Research supports individual scholars and research teams to build knowledge and understanding about people, societies and the world.
Research Partnerships provides opportunities for researchers across disciplines, research areas and sectors to work together with partners to build understanding and advance knowledge through research partnerships and collaborative knowledge mobilization activities.
