In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada<https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Executive_Summary_English_Web.pdf> (TRC) Call to Action 65, the Reconciliation Network in Response to Call to Action 65 is a joint initiative between the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) and SSHRC. This unique opportunity supports establishment of a national research program with multiyear funding to advance collective understanding of reconciliation.SSHRC and the NCTR invite teams led by First Nations, M?tis Nation or Inuit researchers to submit proposals for new or existing formal partnerships that contribute to our collective understanding of truth and reconciliation. Proposals could, for example, address residential schools? history, or the ongoing legacy of residential schools and Canada?s policies of assimilation in one or more areas, including child welfare, education, language and culture, health, and justice.The NCTR and SSHRC recognize the experience of northern Inuit communities, and encourage Inuit-led teams to submit proposals focusing on the realities of the Inuit Nunangat.The main objective of the Reconciliation Network in Response to Call 65 is to award grants to provide support for new and existing formal partnerships<https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/definitions-eng.aspx#a10> over five years to advance research, research training and knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities. This is done through mutual co-operation and sharing of intellectual leadership, as well as through resources as shown by cash and/or in-kind contributions<https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/definitions-eng.aspx#a15>.Grants are valued at up to $200,000 annually over five years, up to a total of $1 million.EligibilityApplications can be submitted by a team of researchers consisting of at least one First Nations, M?tis Nation or Inuit applicant / project director<https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/definitions-eng.aspx#a1>. The team can be composed of participants, such as one or more co-directors, co-applicants<https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/definitions-eng.aspx#a4> and/or collaborators<https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/definitions-eng.aspx#a5>. The applicant / project director prepares the application with the team.Partner organizationsPartner organizations can be Canadian or international institutions or organizations (public, private, not-for-profit) of any type. Indigenous organizations, Indigenous governments and Indigenous not-for-profit organizations are all welcome to partner.Postsecondary institutions, including organizations or associations affiliated with them, and scholarly associations are not eligible as partner organizations.Although partner organizations are normally expected to support the activities of the partnership through cash and/or in-kind contributions<https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/policies-politiques/cash_inkind-especes_en_nature-eng.aspx>, in an effort to alleviate barriers to all communities? participation, partners unable to provide cash and/or in-kind contributions may explain alternative support in their letters. This support can include social capital?an asset that may emphasize social and familial relationships and networks and may affect the cost of research?and/or linguistic capital, such as the ability to engage in the community using its ancestral language(s) and a national language of Canada.For more information, please see the funding opportunity description<https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/reconciliation_action_65-eng.aspx>.UPEI Application ProcessFor optimal assistance, teams are requested to contact the Office of Research Services during the planning and preparation of an application.Prepare the application using the Convergence Portal<https://www.convergence.gc.ca/en/SignIn> according to SSHRC's instructions<https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/instructions/reconciliation-eng.aspx>.Submit the application for UPEI approval using the Romeo Researcher Portal<https://upei.researchservicesoffice.com/Romeo.Researcher/> (instructions can be found here<https://www.upei.ca/research-services/forms>).  Deadline to Office of Research Services: May 1, 2023SSHRC's deadline for submission is May 15, 2023.  To provide the Office of Research Services sufficient time to access and submit applications, applicants are requested to electronically submit before May 1, 2023.

Goal 

The GBV Research Initiative will award approximately five grants for four-year formal research partnerships between a post-secondary institution and at least one or more partner organizations from the not-for-profit, public and/or private sectors, to foster the co-creation of new knowledge, capacity-building and knowledge mobilization on critical issues relating to gender-based violence in Canada.  

 

The initiative will seek to support a diverse portfolio of projects aligned with the themes below: 

 

  • Shelters and housing 
  • Violence against LGBTQ2+ People 

  • Natural Resources, Work Camps and Sexual Violence 

  • Access to Justice and Prevention of GBV 

  • Technology-facilitated GBV against Youth 

 

 

Value and Duration 

Grants offered under the Gender-Based Violence Research Initiative are valued at up to $100,000 for the first year and up to $200,000 annually for the following three years, for an overall total maximum of up to $700,000 over four years.

he Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) are launching a Knowledge Synthesis Grants (KSG) funding opportunity to assess the state of research knowledge on the topic of gender-based violence under SSHRC’s Imagining Canada’s Future initiative. 

This call for proposals focuses on the state of knowledge on gender-based violence (GBV) in Canada such as the impact of GBV on different populations, the efficacy of services addressing and preventing GBV, or the needs of victims and survivors of GBV.  The KSGs on gender-based violence will support synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying knowledge gaps on this topic and stimulate knowledge mobilization. By reaching a variety of audiences, including decision-makers, this knowledge can, ultimately, contribute towards a Canada free of gender-based violence. 

 

Knowledge Synthesis Grants are not intended to support original research. Rather, they are intended to support the synthesis of existing research knowledge and the identification of knowledge gaps. This call is particularly focused on the state of research produced over the past 10 years. 

Knowledge Synthesis Grants are valued at $30,000 for one year
