sponsor: award established by the government of canada.

deadline: january 14, 2019

objective: to encourage young canadians who wish to improve their proficiency in their second official language of canada (english or french) and wish to pursue studies, on a full-time basis, at a canadian university which functions in the other official language and in a milieu in which that language predominates.

number:  up to two (2) awards at the bachelor’s degree level.

eligibility:  eligible applicants must be canadian citizens or permanent residents of canada.

the government of canada is accepting applications from organizations interested in receiving contribution funding from the pan-canadian stream of the new horizons for seniors program (nhsp). eligible organizations can apply for $500,000 to $5 million for a project consisting of a 3 to 5 year collective impact initiative.

the pan-canadian stream of the nhsp has approximatively $8 million available per year for five years to distribute to eligible organizations. it is anticipated that up to ten organizations submitting collective impact initiatives will receive funding through this process.

objective

this process seeks to ensure that seniors can benefit from and contribute to the quality of life in their communities. more specifically, this process seeks to:

• build the collective capacity of organizations to recognize and address barriers to social inclusion faced by seniors;
• promote improved access to information, programs and services for seniors to enhance their social inclusion within their communities;
• support action research to better understand effective approaches for increasing the level of social inclusion of seniors in their communities;
• develop innovative approaches to engage and retain senior volunteers to improve their social inclusion in their communities; and
• address systemic barriers that contribute to the social exclusion of seniors.

to determine how funding will be allocated, we are launching a two-step application process. this first step is a competitive call for concepts. you are invited to provide high level information about your project to determine the need and complexity of an issue that is impacting seniors' well-being. complex issues suited to these projects are those that are not easy to resolve, have persisted over time and cannot be solved in isolation. as this is a competitive process, not all applications will be retained.

if you are successful in the first step of this application process, we will invite you to develop a full project proposal. at that time, you will be required to provide additional information and go into further details about your proposed concept, such as a well-articulated plan for funding collaborating organizations. additional information and documents about the project will also be requested. another document with specific instructions will be provided to those applicants.

sshrc impact awards are designed to build on and sustain canada’s research-based knowledge culture in all research areas of the social sciences and humanities. the awards recognize outstanding researchers and celebrate their research achievements, research training, knowledge mobilization, and outreach activities funded partially or entirely by sshrc.
