Partnership Grants (PG)
The Partnership Grants are a two stage process and are expected to respond to the objectives of the Research Partnerships program. These grants provide support for new and existing formal partnerships over four to seven years to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization in the social sciences and humanities. This is done through mutual cooperation and sharing of intellectual leadership, as well as through resources as shown by cash and/or in-kind contributions.
