The objective of ARB SSHRC Exchange – Scholarly Publications Grant is to support and enhance manuscripts accepted for publication by a press that employs peer-review. The goal of the program is to fund excellence and innovation.
Application Process
Each year there is one ARB SSHRC Exchange – Scholarly Publications Grant competition. A completed ARB SSHRC Exchange – Scholarly Publications Grant application form must be received by ROADS by 4:30pm on the deadline date, October 31st. (Next business day if the deadline falls on a weekend or statutory holiday.)
ARB SSHRC Exchange – Scholarly Publications Grants can be applied retroactively within a 12 month period, e.g., all publication costs between January 1 to December 2024 could be submitted for adjudication in the fall 2024 applications (with the grant start date of January 1 2025).
Requests for conference attendance and representational activities may NOT be included in a ARB SSHRC Exchange – Scholarly Publications Grant application. A separate Conference Attendance and Representational Activities Grant application must be completed.
Value
The maximum allowable for the ARB SSHRC Explore – Standard Research/Creative & Performing Arts Grant and ARB SSHRC Exchange – Scholarly Publications Grant combined is $7,000 per Researcher per competition Cycle and the award is granted for a period of 24 months beginning January 1st. Any grant funds not used by the end of that period will be returned to the ARB.
Adjudication Process
ARB SSHRC Exchange – Scholarly Publications Grant applications will be assessed for the following:
- Availability of alternative outlets for publication at lower or zero cost;
- Overall contribution of the publication to the candidate’s research and publication record; and
- Applicant’s scholarly contributions relative to the stage of career (e.g., publications, reviews, abstracts, conference presentations over the last six years). See SSHRC CV and SSHRC Relevant Research Contributions.
