Description:
Connection Grants support short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization through events and outreach activities aligned with the objectives of the Research Partnerships program. Events are typically brief (e.g., a 2-day conference or 1-week workshop), while outreach activities aim to engage the broader public through diverse methods such as dissemination, translation, networking, and co-creation beyond what a typical event would achieve.
Eligibility:
Individuals can apply, as an applicant, for only one Connection Grant per calendar year.
Applicants or project directors on an active SSHRC Connection Grant cannot apply as applicant or project director for another individual or institutional Connection Grant.
