SSHRC November 2016 Knowledge Synthesis Competition:
How will Canada continue to thrive in an interconnected world and evolving global landscape?
Value: $25,000
Duration: 1 year
Application Deadline: January 12, 2017
Results Announced: March 2017
What will the course of a globalized future look like? How will societies address the promise and the peril of global forces shaping our future? These topics will be explored in this, the fifth Knowledge Synthesis Grants competition launched as part of SSHRC’s Imagining Canada’s Future initiative.
Description
This funding opportunity will support researchers, teams of researchers and knowledge users in producing knowledge syntheses and scoping reviews that:
- support the evidence’s use in decision-making, and the application of best practices; and
- assist in developing future research agendas.
Applicants must address the following three objectives of the funding opportunity in their proposals:
- State of knowledge, strengths and gaps
- Research data
- Knowledge mobilization
Expected Outcomes
Knowledge Synthesis Grants are not intended to support original research. Rather, they are intended to support the synthesis of existing research knowledge and the identification of knowledge gaps. This call is particularly focused on the state of research knowledge emerging over the past 10 years.
