SSHRC is making some changes to the Connection Grants funding opportunity description and the application form, in an effort to streamline the application process. As a result, the form will be unavailable from 8:01 p.m. ET on November 1, 2016 to November 7, 2016.

All Connection Grants applications that are in progress will be again available on November 7, 2016. The following changes will be implemented as of November 7, 2016:

Funding opportunity description:

• The description of events has been clarified;
• Ineligible activities have been clarified;
• Instructions for matching funds and letters of support have been clarified.

Application form:

• The Research-Creation Support Material module has been moved up in the application form to avoid confusion with the applicant’s CV.

Please note that after each deadline the application server will be offline for 48 hours and will not be able to accept any additional applications.
