Insight Development Grant

Insight Development Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Insight research program.
 
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 that are proposed by individuals or teams. 
 
Insight Development Grants foster research in its early stages; they are not intended to support large-scale initiatives. Long-term support for research is offered through SSHRC’s Insight Grants.
 
Proposed projects can involve, but are not limited to, research initiatives including case studies, pilot initiatives, and critical analyses of existing research. Projects can 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.

Grants are valued at $7,000 to $75,000 over one to two years. A minimum budget of $7,000 is required in at least one of the years.
