SSHRC Institutional Grants (SIG) │Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)

December 1, 2024

Value

$5,000 per year minimum.

Description

Through its SSHRC Institutional Grants (SIG) funding opportunity, SSHRC provides annual grants to help eligible Canadian postsecondary institutions fund, through their own merit review processes, small-scale research and research-related activities by their faculty and students in the social sciences and humanities. SIG funds are intended to help Canadian postsecondary institutions strengthen research excellence in the social sciences and humanities.

Eligible Applicants

To be eligible for the SIG funding opportunity, a postsecondary institution must:

  • be a Canadian postsecondary institution eligible to administer SSHRC funds;
  • be independent of the federal government for the purpose of faculty employment status;
  • independently grant at least one bachelor’s degree in the social sciences and humanities disciplines;
  • have designated one individual at the vice-president level to be responsible for the oversight of the grant funds;
  • agree to clearly brand grants for research purposes as “SSHRC Explore Grants”;
  • agree to clearly brand grants for dissemination purposes as “SSHRC Exchange Grants”; and
  • have submitted all outstanding reports for SIG and/or Aid to Small Universities grants before the application deadline.

Eligible Expenses

SIG funds can be used to offer SSHRC Explore Grants and SSHRC Exchange Grants.

  • SSHRC Explore Grants:
    • support social sciences and humanities researchers with modest research funding requirements at any stage of their career;
    • allow for small-scale innovation and experimentation by providing funding to develop a research project or to conduct pilot work; and
    • enable researchers to hire students at any level to participate in their research projects, thereby contributing to the students’ professional development.
  • SSHRC Exchange Grants:
    • support the organization of small-scale knowledge mobilization activities, such as workshops and seminars, to encourage collaboration and the dissemination of research results both within and beyond the academic community; and
    • allow researchers to attend or present their research at scholarly conferences and other dissemination venues that align with SSHRC’s mandate in order to advance their careers and encourage the exchange of ideas and research results at the national and international level.
