Partnership Development Grants

Partnership Development Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Insight and/or the Connection program.

These grants provide support over one to three years to teams/partnerships, led by a project director, to:

• develop research and/or related activities in the social sciences and humanities, including 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 may result in best practices or models that either can be adapted by others or have the potential to be scaled up to a regional, national or international level.

Partnership funding is intended for teams working in formal partnership between postsecondary institutions and/or organizations of various types. For more information, see the definitions for formal partnership and partner organization.
