SSHRC - Knowledge Synthesis Grant Competition

SSHRC is looking to support the synthesis of existing research knowledge and the identification of knowledge gaps in a format that is accessible for a particular audience—in this case, primarily government policy-makers.

Syntheses should focus on what the emerging best practices are in one or more of the following areas:
1. Creating and sustaining effective networks.
2. Supporting cross-disciplinary research for greater innovation potential.
3. Transfer of knowledge from higher education institutions to industry.
4. Stimulating and supporting knowledge receptor capacity in industry.

Eligibility

UofT Faculty members who conduct research as part of their appointment are eligible to apply.

Funding

This competition will fund projects that are upto 14 weeks in length and the maximum amount to be awarded is $25,000 for a single project.
