MEMORANDUM
TO: Principals, Deans, Academic Directors and Chairs
(Humanities & Social Sciences)
FROM: Professor R. Paul Young, Vice-President, Research
DATE: 11 December 2009
RE: University of Toronto Participation and Success in the
SSHRC Major Collaborative Research Initiative (MCRI) Program
________________________________________________________________________
Please Bring This Information to Members of Your Unit Who May Be Interested
Further to my memorandum of November 25th, I am writing to provide more detailed
information on our internal process for the current MCRI competition. Please ensure that this information is passed on to members of your academic unit who are, or should be considering, participating in this important funding opportunity.
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. As well as providing important research support, funding through this program is critical to the calculation of our Canada Research Chair (CRC) and Federal Indirect Cost allocations. The MCRI is a highly competitive program.
In addition to yesterday's information session conducted by Research Services, we will be coordinating an internal review process (peer and editorial review) to ensure that the Letters of Intent submitted to SSHRC's January 31 deadline are as strong as possible. Our goal is to win at least one of the four or five MCRI awards in this competition.
Critical dates for the internal process are as follows:
January 5: Return of the attached INTERNAL Intent to Apply
January 14: Submission of full draft SSHRC Letter of Intent
January 22: Feedback provided to proposal leaders
January 28: Final SSHRC LOIs submitted to Research Services
January 29: Final Review, Presidential Endorsement, Submission to SSHRC
Should you have any questions, please contact (fred.zhu@utoronto.ca; 978-2155).
