the gender-based violence research initiative is a joint initiative between women and gender equality canada (wage) and the social sciences and humanities research council (sshrc). wage will invest up to $2,500,000 and sshrc up to $1,000,000 over four years to co-fund research projects that address gender-based violence (gbv). the goal of this initiative is to support academic researchers, in partnership with other research-focused and community-based organizations, to advance knowledge on, and analyze the causes and persistence of gbv in canada. this research could include methods of prevention, access to justice, and support services for victims and survivors.

partnership development grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight program and/or the connection program.

these grants provide support over one to three years to teams/partnerships, led by a project director, to:

• develop research and/or related activities in the social sciences and humanities—these can include knowledge mobilization and the meaningful involvement of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and emerging scholars, by fostering new partnerships with existing and/or potential partners; or
• design and test new partnership approaches for research and/or related activities that can result in best practices or models—these can either be adapted by others or have the potential to be scaled up to a regional, national or international level.

partnership funding is intended for formal partnerships between postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types. for more information, see the definitions for formal partnership and partner organization.
