RE: SSHRC Major Collaborative Research Initiative Program
________________________________________________________________________
Please Bring This Information to Members of your Unit who may be Interested
SSHRC will be running the next Major Collaborative Research Initiative (MCRI) competition, with letters of intent due at SSHRC on January 31, 2010. I am writing to bring this opportunity to your attention and to solicit expressions of interest.
The MCRI is SSHRC's largest funding opportunity, aimed at enabling multidisciplinary teams to probe critical questions that demand a multi-lens perspective in the social sciences and humanities. Successful proposals can receive up to $2.5 million over 7 years. The MCRI is also a highly competitive program. To assist those faculty members wishing to lead an MCRI proposal, Research Services has planned, and will offer, strategic support that includes:
* an MCRI forum offering insight and advice from our successful MCRI leaders, and those who have served on an MCRI adjudication committee. The forum is occurring on Thursday, December 10, 2009, from 9:30 am to 11:30 am in the Boardroom of Simcoe Hall.
* coordination of internal peer review to assist applicants at the Letter of Intent Stage, and to those who are invited to prepare a Full Proposal.
* advice and assistance, in partnership with Divisions, on the mechanics of the proposal, including how to identify commitments from other sources, and partners to the proposal.
Those who are interested in leading an MCRI proposal can contact Fred Zhu (fred.zhu@utoronto.ca or by phone at 978-2155) by November 30th. Those interested in attending the MCRI forum should also notify Fred at the e-mail coordinate noted above. Program information is available on our website at: www.research.utoronto.ca/for-researchers-administrators/funding-sources/funding-opps/?showopp=451
