SSHRC Partnership Grants — Stage 1  

Program Link: https://sshrc-crsh.canada.ca/en/funding/opportunities/partnership-grants/2026/stage-1-competition.aspx    

 

Sponsor: Social Science and Humanities Research Council 

 

Value: Stage 1: up to $30,000 

 

Description:  Partnership Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Research partnerships program. Proposals exclusively for partnered research training initiatives are expected to respond, instead, to the objectives of the Research training and talent development program. 

 

These grants provide support for new and existing formal partnerships over four to seven years to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities. This is done through mutual cooperation and sharing of intellectual leadership, as well as through resources such as cash and/or in-kind contributions. 

 

Partnership Grants are intended for large teams of postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types that work in formal collaboration.
