SSHRC Partnership Development Grants - OSR Information Session

The purpose of the SSHRC Partnership Development Grant Program 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.

Researchers in social sciences and humanities, arts and literature who are planning to apply to the upcoming SSHRC Partnership Development Grant (PDG) competition are encouraged to attend this information session, which will include:

·       A brief presentation about the objectives and application requirements of the SSHRC PDG Program by Michelle Picard-Aitken, Grants and Agreements Officer, Social Sciences and Humanities;

Information about the peer-review system and strategies for preparing a successful proposal from Prof. Sarah Turner (Department of Geography), speaking from her experience as a PDG selection committee member and award holder; and

·       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 (ext. 3348) in advance so that they may be included in the session.
