PRENTICE INSTITUTE AFFILIATE PARTNERSHIP GRANT STILL ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
Are you an affiliate of the Prentice Institute? You are eligible to apply for the Partnership Grant. Similar to the partnership programs at SSHRC, these grants provide support over one to two years to teams/partnerships, led by a project director, to:
-
develop research and/or related activities—these can include knowledge mobilization and the meaningful involvement of students and emerging scholars, by fostering new partnerships with existing and/or potential partners; or
- design and test new partnership approaches for research and/or related activities that can result in best practices or models—these can either be adapted by others or have the potential to be scaled up to a regional, national, or international level.
The Institute invites applicants and their partner organizations who wish to propose formal disciplinary, interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, international and/or cross-sector partnership arrangements to apply for support through this funding opportunity. Funds are available to support a variety of formal partnership development initiatives in any of the mandate areas of the institute. Learn more and apply here.
