Centre for Forensic Behavioural Sciences and Justice Studies: Faculty Research Grant Program
Centre for Forensic Behavioural Sciences and Justice Studies
Faculty Research Grant Program
Deadline: February 29, 2012
The Centre Forensic Behavioural Sciences and Justice Studies at the University of Saskatchewan (the “Centre”) is an interdisciplinary centre aimed at promoting research and graduate training in the areas of justice and forensic behavioural sciences. Demands have, and continue to emerge, at the municipal, provincial and national levels for scholarly activity pertaining to the criminal justice system. These demands include the need for research, training and evaluation concerning the law and justice systems, personnel and inmates, crime prevention, conflict resolution, and community health issues as informed and impacted by correctional services.
The Centre is pleased to invite applications for faculty research awards, made possible through funding support from the Correctional Service Canada, Saskatchewan Corrections Public Safety and Policing, and various internal University of Saskatchewan sources. The purpose of these awards is to fund small projects that will enable researchers to better position their research for success at provincial and national funding levels. The total amount of funding available for this competition is $20,000. It is anticipated that individual awards will be in the $5,000 to $7,000 range; however, applications up to a maximum of $15,000 may be considered.
The deadline for receipt of applications is February 29, 2012 with results to be announced by the end of March, 2012.
The Centre will accept submissions from any University of Saskatchewan faculty member whose research proposal investigates a law, crime, justice and/or corrections topic from a social science, health science, legal, management or interdisciplinary perspective. Only one submission per faculty member will be considered per competition, although a particular individual may be named as Principal Investigator on one submission and Co-investigator on another. Researchers may receive funding on a yearly basis, provided an application was submitted to a provincial or national funding agency in the previous year on the work that has already received funding from the Forensic Initiative.
Consideration will be given to all submissions but funding is competitive and will be granted based on the following criteria: the importance and relevance of questions being addressed, the potential theoretical contribution to an understanding of criminal behaviour and other justice-related phenomena, the potential practical contribution to the criminal justice system and its member
agencies and stakeholders, including offenders and victims, relevance to Saskatchewan and/or the prairie region, relevance to a provincial or national funding program to which the researcher
intends to submit an application in the next 12 months, plans to ensure effective knowledge translation, the soundness and practicality of the proposal, and the potential value for money.
The proposal must include (all pages must be numbered):
1. Title of the research project;
2. Brief summary of the research (up to 5 pages) presented in accordance with the following topics: background issue(s), synopsis of relevant research, rationale for the research, research question(s), methodology, data analysis, other agency/organization involvement/approval, and potential implications/impact of the research;
3. Proposed budget for the research with justification of expenses, a statement of request specifying the amount of financial resources that are being requested, and a disclosure about any other potential or existing sources of funding;
4. Projected timeframe in which the research will be completed;
5. Dissemination or communication plan;
6. Statement of commitment to apply for provincial or national funding within the
next 12 months and explanation of how the present proposal will improve the
external funding application;
7. Brief biographies of the principal investigator and all co-investigators (up to one
half page per person);
8. References;
9. Documentation that supplements the research summary may be included in
Appendices (e.g., sample questionnaires, focus group questions, survey instruments, interview protocols, solicitation announcements, consent forms, correspondence with criminal justice agencies and stakeholders).
Incomplete proposals will be returned to the applicant without review.
Submissions must be signed by the applicant, any co-applicants and their respective Department Heads (if applicable), and Deans or Associate Deans. A copy of the ethics application and Research Ethics Board approval is not required with the submission, but per University policy, will be required before funding is released.
Grant applications will be reviewed by an Awards Committee, made up of a minimum of three (3) members, selected annually from among the members and affiliated faculty of the Centre for Forensic Behavioural Sciences and Justice Studies and its various contributors.
Successful applicants must abide by the policies and regulations of the University of Saskatchewan regarding the use of research funds. In addition, award recipients will be required to submit an annual summary of their expenditures in order for the Centre to meet its own external reporting requirements. Grant funds may not be used to provide honoraria or release time stipends for the Principal Investigator or Co-investigators.
If you have any questions, please contact:
