zero emission vehicle awareness initiative - calls for proposal

how to apply: 

on-road transportation accounts for about 20 percent of canada’s total greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions. reducing transportation emissions is critical to achieving the government’s ambitious climate change commitments and is consistent with the global shift toward zero-emission vehicles (zev).

to accelerate the path to net-zero, the government of canada has set a mandatory target for all new light-duty cars and passenger truck sales to be zevs by 2035. however, nationwide surveys consistently show that a lack of awareness, knowledge and public confidence in zevs is a key barrier to adoption on a wider scale. addressing gaps in zev knowledge and experience for consumers and businesses is therefore critical to supporting canadians through the decision-making process to purchasing a zev.

a unique opportunity to educate canadians

the zero emission vehicles awareness initiative (zevai) is looking to fund new and innovative projects that aim to address awareness and knowledge gaps among canadians on light-duty zevs and zev technologies, including battery electric (bev), plug-in hybrid (phev), and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. this stream is also open to battery-powered micro-mobility solutions (i.e., small, lightweight vehicles operating at low speeds, including scooters, e-bikes, and cargo e-bikes). a separate call out for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles will follow at a later time.

connection grants

how to apply: 

connection grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the connection program.

these grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. these events and activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage with participants on research issues of value to them. events and outreach activities funded by a connection grant can often serve as a first step toward more comprehensive and longer-term projects.

connection grants support workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes, or other events or outreach activities that facilitate:

  • disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary exchanges in the social sciences and humanities;
  • scholarly exchanges between those working in the social sciences and humanities and those working in other research fields;
  • intersectoral exchanges between academic researchers in the social sciences and humanities and researchers and practitioners from the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors; and/or
  • international research collaboration and scholarly exchanges with researchers, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and non-academic partners from other countries.

only a canadian institution that holds institutional eligibility can administer funds. however, the intellectual leadership and governance for connection grant activities can come from within the research community and/or from within the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors.

sshrc welcomes applications involving indigenous research, as well as those involving research-creation.

insight grants

how to apply: 

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

insight grants support research excellence in the social sciences and humanities. funding is available to both emerging and established scholars for research initiatives of two to five years.

stable support for long-term research initiatives is central to advancing knowledge. it enables scholars to address complex issues about individuals and societies, and to further our collective understanding.

insight grants support research proposed by scholars and judged worthy of funding by their peers and/or other experts. insight grant research initiatives can be undertaken by an individual researcher or a team of researchers working in collaboration.

applicants choose from one of two streams, depending on the amount of funding required. both streams will be adjudicated by the same committees, and will receive the same rigorous level of merit review. the deadlines and application process are identical for both; however, the targeted success rate for stream a is higher than for stream b.

sshrc welcomes applications involving indigenous research, as well as those involving research-creation.
