Sponsor: Regional Socio-Economic Development Institute of Canada (RSEDIC)
Sponsor program link: RSEDIC Seed Grants
The purpose of the RSEDIC seed grant is to provide funding to support new areas of regional socio-economic research, and to increase the capacity for regional socio-economic inquiry on campus. Activities undertaken through the seed grant can include for example knowledge syntheses, and/or the collection of pilot data on a new topic. Interdisciplinary applications that address the connections between regional economic development, health, arts, culture, and/or technology are especially encouraged, as are applications that push the boundaries of what is traditionally understood as socio-economic activities.
Successful applicants will be required to submit a short report on their progress and participate in a RSEDIC workshop in the fall of 2017. Successful Vancouver applicants are encouraged to discuss arrangements for the workshop with RSEDIC.
Value: Grants are for up to a maximum of $3,500 over 6 months. No extensions are available.
Deadlines:
Prepare an RPIF and all other required attachments and submit electronically to Heather Frost in the ORE by 9:00 AM, Tuesday April 18, 2017 for the Faculty-level signature and to Alison Ward at UBC-O’s Office of Research Services by 4:00pm the same day (Tuesday April 18).
Notes:
The RSEDIC seed grant is open to all full-time tenure-stream faculty in the professorial stream. The applicant shall have, at the time of application for the funding, a term of appointment spanning the period of funding, or a signed commitment for a term of employment spanning the period of funding.
