a wenner-gren grantee may apply for the engaged anthropology grant ($5,000 maximum) upon completion of the final reporting requirements for the dissertation fieldwork or post-ph.d. research grant.

this grant is designed to enable grantees to return to their research locale to share their research results with:

• the community  in which the research was conducted, and/or
• the academic/anthropological community in the region or country of research.

the foundation realizes that the appropriate form of engagement will vary depending on the type of project that was undertaken and the location of the research.  emphasis should be on disseminating the research results of wenner-gren funded research.  applications are evaluated according to the project’s capacity for producing engaged participation, cultivating mutually beneficial collaborations, and forging equitable relationships among all parties involved. this grant does not support the continuation of research activities, the establishment of websites, or other forms of engagement with western anthropologists who typically have access to the international academic community and literature.

partnership grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight and/or the connection program. proposals exclusively for partnered research training initiatives (see below) are expected to respond, instead, to the objectives of the talent program.

these grants provide support for new and existing formal partnerships over four to seven years to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities through mutual co-operation and sharing of intellectual leadership, as well as through resources as evidenced by cash and/or in-kind contributions.

partnership grants are intended for large teams working in formal collaboration between postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types. for more information, see the definitions of formal partnership and partner organization.

the quality of training, mentoring and employability plans for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and emerging scholars will be evaluated as an important part of a proposed initiative. please see sshrc’s guidelines for effective research training for more information on how 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and emerging scholars can meaningfully participate in proposed initiatives.

the intellectual leadership and governance for a new or existing formal partnership may come from within the research community and/or from partner organizations from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. however, only an eligible institution may administer the grant funding (see eligibility).

sshrc invites applicants and their partner organizations who wish to propose formal disciplinary, interdisciplinary, interinstitutional, international and/or cross-sector partnership arrangements to apply for support through this funding opportunity. funds are available to support a variety of formal partnership initiatives in all of the disciplines and themes eligible for funding at sshrc.

for tools and resources to assist in the planning and implementation of your partnership, please see sshrc’s partnerships tool-kit.

there are two categories of partnerships that may request support:

• existing partnerships: support to foster new research and/or research-related partnership activities that are distinct from the partnership’s previous/ongoing partnership activities.
• new partnerships: support to foster new research and/or research-related partnership activities that are undertaken by partnerships in their initial stages.

insight development grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight program.

insight development grants support research in its initial stages. the grants enable the development of new research questions, as well as experimentation with new methods, theoretical approaches and/or ideas. funding is provided for short-term research development projects, of up to two years, proposed by individuals or teams.

insight development grants foster research in its early stages, but are not intended to support large-scale initiatives. long-term support for research is offered through sshrc’s insight grants.

proposed projects may involve, but are not limited to, the following types of research activities:

• case studies;
• pilot initiatives; and
• critical analyses of existing research.

projects may also involve national and international research collaboration, and the exploration of new ways of producing, structuring and mobilizing knowledge within and across disciplines and sectors.

the project grant program is expected to:

• support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation projects at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors;
• contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

this program is seeking proposals to reduce the reliance of rural and remote communities on diesel fuel for heat and power. the program, which plans to support a suite of diverse projects across canada, will be evaluated against a range of criteria. proposals will need to demonstrate local community support and outline the community benefits of the project, particularly for indigenous communities. the project must fit into one of the following streams:

program streams:

• bioheat to reduce fossil fuel use through the installation, retrofit or investigation into the feasibility of biomass heating or combined heat and power systems for community and/or industrial applications.
   
• innovative demonstrations to reduce diesel use through the validation of novel renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy storage, and smart-grid technologies and applications.
   
• deployment of renewable energy technologies for electricity including hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, and bioenergy. heat may also be produced, but the primary purpose of the project must be electricity production.
