Grants available from the IPHRC - Deadline April 15
The Indigenous Peoples' Health Research Centre is proud to announce two new grants for communities and researchers. Please see the information below and visit our website for full competition details at:
http://iphrc.ca/researchers_communities.
Note: The deadline for both funding opportunities is April 15th, 2012 so apply now.
1. Community Network Research Grant ($15,000 maximum value)
Description: IPHRC’s Community Network Research (CNR) Grant provides funding to complete community-based research projects focusing on Indigenous health. In response to feedback expressing the need for such a program, the CNR grant promotes the principles of OCAP (Ownership, Control, Access, and Possession) and through direct community involvement, ensures relevant and appropriate research.
Eligibility: The funding is open to Aboriginal communities and health organizations in partnership with health –related researcher(s) with an academic or research appointment at a Saskatchewan university. Both the researcher and community partner are equally co-principal applicants; however, the researcher would be the nominated principal applicant and, therefore, would assume administrative and financial responsibility for the grant.
Note: University of Regina applicants who have a solid plan to apply for national or SHRF grants will receive matching money from the Office of the Vice President - Research, University of Regina.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. New Investigator Grant ($5,000 maximum value - U of R faculty applicants will have their funding topped up by the Office of the VP
Research)
Description: The New Investigator Grant is intended to assist university faculty in establishing independent health research programs within the province and achieving the research productivity necessary for obtaining major funding from national and other external agencies.
Eligibility: To be eligible, the principal applicant must:
- hold a faculty appointment at a Saskatchewan university, with the expectation and opportunity to undertake research, the right to hold research grants at the university, and the responsibility to supervise graduate students;
- have held the above faculty appointment for no more than three years as of July 1 in the application year;
- may not simultaneously be a graduate student, research fellowship holder or holder of any other training award, or an employee of a for-profit business;
- may not have previously held a New Investigator Grant from any granting agency, including IPHRC.
Note: If funds are available, investigators who have held a faculty appointment for more than three years as of July 1 in the application year but who are new to the Aboriginal health research field will be considered.

SSHRC Connection Grants - New Funding Opportunity
Connection Grants funding opportunity
SSHRC continues implementation of its renewed program architecture with the launch of the Connection Grants funding opportunity. The description is now available on the SSHRC website at the following link: http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/connection_grants-subventions_connexion-eng.aspx? The application form and instructions will be available at the beginning of April.
The Connection Grants support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term, targeted knowledge mobilization initiatives. These events and outreach activities represent opportunities to exchange knowledge and to engage on research issues of value to those participating.
SSHRC invites applicants who wish to conduct workshops, colloquiums, conferences, forums, summer institutes or other events or outreach activities that facilitate:
• disciplinary and/or interdisciplinary exchanges in the humanities and social sciences;
• 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 humanities and social sciences and researchers and practitioners from the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors; and/or
• international research collaboration and scholarly exchanges between researchers, students and non-academic partners from other countries.
These grants are valued at $7,000 to $50,000, with higher amounts considered on an exceptional basis, over one year. Starting in April 2012, SSHRC will accept applications on a continuous basis and will announce results normally within eight weeks from the date that SSHRC confirms receipt of the application.
Over the past three years, SSHRC has awarded an average of $6 million per year to support the types of events and outreach activities expected to be proposed and funded through the Connection funding opportunity. The approximate budget available for new awards in 2012-13 will be announced in spring 2012 under the Connection Program on SSHRC’s website.
For more information, please contact us by telephone at 613-943-1007 or email at: connection@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca.
