SSHRC Insight Grants -- 2 funding streams available

Posted on Thursday, July 13th, 2017

SSHRC has diversified its Insight Grant program and now offers Stream A and Stream B. Very exciting! 
 
This change is meant to address a perceived bias encouraging larger and longer grants and to address a perception that there are currently no options for established scholars seeking smaller grants to support ongoing research.
 
 
Stream A (duration 2-5 years) $7K -- 100K
Stream B (also 2-5 years) $100K -- $400K (max $100K/yr)
 
Both streams are adjudicated by the same committees and will receive the same review (including external assessments).
Committees will receive SEPARATE budget envelopes dedicated to each stream. Stream A would have a target success rate higher  than Stream B.
 
**Unsuccessful IDG 2017 applicants many now apply for an IG in 2017 -- This year only!
 
SSHRC expects its IG portal to open on July 19th. You will be able to create a login, the IG and CV forms, and begin populating them.
