Description
Description: In this Knowledge Synthesis Grants competition, proposals are sought that address the challenge area of: What effects will the quest for energy and natural resources have on our society and our position on the world stage? These grants are not intended to support original research; rather they are intended to support the synthesis of existing research knowledge on the topic and the identification of knowledge gaps. A detailed description of the program is available on the competition website.
Eligibility
Applicants must be affiliated with an eligible Canadian postsecondary institution at the time of application. Applicants who have received a SSHRC grant of any type but who have failed to submit a final research report by the deadline specified in their Notice of Award are not eligible to apply for this or any other SSHRC grant until they have submitted the report. Co-applicants may be individuals from Postsecondary institutions; not-for-profit organizations; philanthropic foundations; think tanks; and municipal, territorial or provincial governments. Any individual who will make a significant contribution to the research initiative is eligible to be a collaborator. Collaborators do not need to be affiliated with an eligible Canadian postsecondary institution. Note that individuals from the private sector or federal government may participate only as collaborators.
