URF Priority Area – SSHRC Partnership, Partnership Development, or Connection Grant

Researchers who currently hold tri-council funding may apply for regular URF funding if they will use the award to facilitate a future SSHRC Partnership (PG), Partnership Development (PDG), or Connection (CG) grant application led by UNB. This SSHRC application must be submitted within two years of the URF award.

The committee will prioritize projects that demonstrate a clear focus on activities related to the background and preparatory work required to submit a strong SSHRC application, and/or those that involve research undertaken as part of a pilot project that will be expanded during the proposed SSHRC-funded research.

URF funds may be used to cover expenses SSHRC considers eligible for these programs, as well as travel expenses incurred while conferring with co-applicants, partners, and participants on the future PG or PDG application, or planning the CG outreach activity or event.

Researchers who submit projects for funding under this URF priority area will include, in addition to the regularly requested materials for the URF program, a one-page justification to provide the following:

·  an explanation of how their projects align with SSHRC’s subject-matter eligibility (see http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/apply-demande/background-renseignements/selecting_agency-choisir_organisme_subventionnaire-eng.aspx).

·  a brief description of the future SSHRC project, including a list of probable co-applicants and partners (PG, PDG), or co-applicants, participants and/or presenters (CG)

·  a discussion of how the URF project fits into the future SSHRC proposal

Projects that identify alignment to this priority area will be assessed for fit during the URF review process.
