Overview
Insight Development Grants support research in its initial stages. The grants enable the development of new research questions, as well as experimentation with new methods, theoretical approaches and/or ideas. Funding is provided for short-term research development projects, of up to two years, proposed by individuals or teams.
Insight Development Grants foster research in its early stages, but are not intended to support ongoing initiatives. Longer-term support for research will be offered, instead, through SSHRC's Insight Grants.
Insight Development Grants proposals are expected to respond to the objectives put forward in the call for proposals for the Insight program.
Proposed projects may involve, but are not limited to, the following types of research activities:
-case studies;
-pilot initiatives; and
-critical analyses of existing research.
-Projects may also involve national and international research collaboration, and the exploration of new ways of producing, structuring and mobilizing knowledge within and across disciplines and sectors.
Within the Insight Development Grants funding opportunity, funding is available for two distinct categories of scholars: regular scholars and new scholars.
Regular scholars: Funding for regular scholars provides support to explore new research questions and approaches that are distinct from the applicant’s previous/ongoing research. These questions and approaches may or may not lie outside the scholar’s existing area(s) of specialization.
New scholars: This funding supports high-quality research projects by new scholars to develop new research questions and/or approaches. Such projects may represent a continuation of the applicant’s (or team’s) graduate work and/or overall research trajectory.
Value and Duration
The maximum value of an Insight Development Grant is $75,000 over one to two years. A minimum budget of $7,000 in at least one of the years is required.
The total competition budget for Insight Development Grants is expected to be $8 million over two years, including funding envelopes for both regular and new scholars. For the current competition, at least 50 per cent of funds will be reserved for applications from new scholars.
Eligible Applicants
Applications for an Insight Development Grant may be submitted by an individual researcher or by a team of researchers (consisting of one applicant, plus one or more co-applicants and/or research collaborators).
Eligibility under the new scholar definition is determined solely by the status of the applicant.
All team members must meet the eligibility criteria specific to their category.
Applicants and co-applicants must be affiliated with an eligible institution before the grant is awarded.
Researchers who maintain an affiliation with a Canadian postsecondary institution, but whose primary affiliation is with a non-Canadian postsecondary institution, are not eligible for principal applicant status within the Insight Development Grants funding opportunity.
Researchers whose primary affiliation is with a non-Canadian postsecondary institution are eligible to participate as co-applicants. In such cases, the rationale for international collaboration must be clearly outlined in the application.
Postdoctoral fellows are eligible to be applicants for an Insight Development Grant. However, in order for SSHRC to release grant funds, successful applicants must formally establish an affiliation with an eligible postsecondary institution within three months of the grant start date, and maintain such an affiliation for the duration of the grant period.
Students enrolled in a program of study are not eligible to apply. However, a PhD candidate, whether holding a faculty position or not, is eligible to receive an Insight Development Grant if he or she:
has met all requirements for the PhD before the grant is awarded;
establishes a formal affiliation with an eligible Canadian postsecondary institution within three months of the grant start date; and
maintains such an affiliation for the duration of the grant period.
Applicants may apply for and hold, as a principal applicant, only one Insight Development Grant at a time. Please refer to SSHRC’s regulations regarding multiple applications for more information.
Applicants who have received a SSHRC grant of any type but have failed to submit a final research report by the deadline specified in their Notice of Award are not eligible to apply for another SSHRC grant until they have submitted the report.
Eligible Institutions
Grant funds may be administered only by an eligible postsecondary institution. Institutions proposing to administer any grant awarded under this funding opportunity must hold or obtain institutional eligibility.
Application Process
Applicants must complete the application form at scholarization in accordance with the accompanying instructions. Applications must be submitted electronically by an authorized research grants officer from the applicant’s institution.
Application deadline: February 1
