Trans-Atlantic Platform: Preparing for Tomorrow - Societies and Strategies in Times of Transition.

The Trans-Atlantic Platform for Social Sciences and Humanities is delighted to announce that its fifth joint funding opportunity, Preparing for Tomorrow: Societies and Strategies in Times of Transition. 
 
This call brings together research funding organizations from countries in South America, Africa, North America, and Europe, and will support international projects that contribute to our understanding of how societies envision, prepare for, and respond to uncertain futures. It seeks to generate knowledge that supports resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking strategies, and that informs policy and practice at local, national, and international levels.

$250,000 available over two to three years.
 
Proposals are invited from transnational research teams to address one or more of the following overarching themes:
 
- Uncertainty: sources, costs, communication, and improvement
- The many faces of the future and crisis: historical, cultural, and regional perspectives
- Scope and coordination of response strategies
- Normative inquiry into prevention and preparation for future crises
 
Research may draw on a wide range of disciplinary, interdisciplinary, theoretical, methodological, and applied approaches within SSH, including qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, historical, and future-oriented methodologies.
 
A webinar will be held June 10 (1 pm CST). Please visit https://sshrc-crsh.canada.ca/en/funding/opportunities/trans-atlantic-platform.aspx to register.
