SSHRC Partnership Development and Partnership Engage Grants Infosession

The purpose of the SSHRC Partnership Development Grants (PDG) is to provide support over one to three years for teams working in formal collaboration between postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types in the social sciences and humanities.

SSHRC Partnership Engage Grants (PEG) are similar, providing short-term (one year) 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 (partner cannot be postsecondary institution).

Researchers in social sciences and humanities, arts and literature who are planning to apply to the upcoming PDG and PEG competitions are encouraged to attend this information session, which will include:

1. A brief presentation about the objectives and application requirements of the SSHRC PDG and PEG funding opportunities by Michelle Picard-Aitken, Grants and Agreements Officer, Social Sciences and Humanities

2. Information about the peer-review process and strategies for preparing a successful proposal from Prof. Bronwen Low (Faculty of Education), speaking from her experiences as a PDG selection committee member and as an award holder

3. A question and answer period where participants will be encouraged to raise any questions they may have about the program or the application process.

Those who are unable to attend or who may not feel comfortable sharing their questions are invited to send their inquiries to michelle.picard-aitken [at] mcgill.ca (Michelle Picard-Aitken) (ext. 3348) in advance so that they may be included in the session.
