Indigenous Science and the Impacts of Plastic Pollution │ Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)

October 16, 2025

Value

Up to $237,500 annually for up to 2 years.

Description

The funding opportunity provides research funding support through Research Partnerships grants to address knowledge gaps about the potential impacts of plastic pollution on Indigenous communities through the various stages of the plastic lifecycle, focusing on social, cultural and economic impacts.

Eligible Applicants

Applications can be submitted by a team of researchers (consisting of one applicant / project director and one or more co-directorsco-applicants and/or collaborators ). The applicant / project director prepares the application on behalf of the partner organizations of the formal partnership.

Applicants must be affiliated with a Canadian institution or Indigenous not-for-profit organization that holds institutional eligibility before funding can be released. Researchers who maintain an affiliation with a Canadian institution that holds institutional eligibility, but whose primary affiliation is with a non-Canadian postsecondary institution, are not eligible for applicant / project director status.

Eligible Expenses

  • Grant funds cannot be used to remunerate Team members (applicant, co-director, co-applicant or collaborator) regardless of an individual’s eligibility to apply for grants. * This includes postdoctoral fellows serving in any of these capacities.*Exception to the above rule: In some cases, Indigenous team members may be compensated. For more information, please consult the Tri-agency guideline on remuneration for Indigenous people participating in funded projects. Note that in such cases, the team member may not be delegated to authorize grant expenditures, and under no circumstances is the applicant/project director eligible to be compensated from grant funds.
  • Grant funds cannot be used for salaries or stipends to individuals whose status would make them eligible to hold a grant from the agency.
  • Grant funds cannot be used for course release time to allow an individual to engage in research activities.
  • salary research allowance can be requested for not-for-profit organizations involved in the partnership with a named eligible participant on the team to release them from duties to their organization. A salary research allowance is not a salary for the project participant but is paid to the Canadian not-for-profit organization to offset the costs of replacing its employee for time spent participating on a SSHRC-funded research project.
