To better support the research community in Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts (SSHA), the 2025 Innovation Fund will:
The objectives of the Innovation Fund competition are to:
- Enable internationally competitive research or technology development through the equitable participation of expert team members;
- Enhance and optimize the capacity of institutions and research communities to conduct the proposed research or technology development program(s) over the useful life of the infrastructure;
- Lead to social, health, environmental and/or economic benefits for Canadians.
Eligibility
Aligned with CFI objectives and criteria, the University will select one SSHA project competitively based on:
- internationally competitive research or technology development;
- composition and expertise of the team;
- necessary and appropriate infrastructure that enhances existing capacity;
- well-defined plan to transfer the results of the research or technology development program(s) that will lead to benefits for Canadians.
The following institutional considerations will also be taken into account:
- alignment with institutional priority and prior investments;
