Social Sciences & Humanities

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) are launching the Gender-Based Violence Research Initiative.  

WAGE will invest up to $2,500,000 and SSHRC up to $1,000,000 over four years to co-fund research projects that address Gender-based violence (GBV). The goal of this initiative is to support academic researchers, in partnership with other research-focused and community-based organizations, to advance knowledge on, and analyze the causes and persistence of GBV in Canada. 

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.

Submit the application for UPEI approval using the Romeo Researcher Portal and selecting the "Research GRANTS Approvals Form (rev Jan 2022)" (instructions can be found here).   

Submit in Romeo Researcher Portal by at least September 28, 2022.  

Deadline to Office of Research Services: October 3, 2022 

SSHRC’s deadline for submission is October 6, 2022.  To provide the Office of Research Services sufficient time to access and forward applications, applicants are requested to submit in the Convergence Portal before October 5, 2022. 

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. 

For more information, please see the funding opportunity description.

·        Who is eligible as a visiting scholar?

Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research professionals and professors who are associated with a public university in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Quebec.

·        Who is eligible as a host environment for a visiting scholar?

Professors, research professionals, research chairs and research groups who are associated with a public university in a province or territory of Canada (all provinces and territories combined), as well as publishers of French-language or bilingual scholarly journals in a territory or province of Canada.

Four types of collaborative projects are eligible :

1.      Collaboration in a research project between two established researchers (research professionals, professors, postdoctoral fellows, etc.);

2.      Collaboration in a research project between an established researcher and graduate student;

3.      Internship of a graduate student in a research group, a research chair or a scholarly journal, to carry out various mandates that may go beyond research, for example the administration of the journal, linguistic revision, translation, etc.;
