HSS: Insight Grant "Info, Templates & Advice Package" now available

The HSS Grants Facilitation Officers (GFOs) created and maintain "Info, Template & Advice Packages" for the SSHRC Insight Grants (and, coming soon, SSHRC Insight Development Grants) program. These Template Packages are updated once a year in the months prior to HSS's Advance Draft Feedback deadline (see the Research Funding Tracker for all internal deadlines). 

The Template Packages contain detailed information about: the IDG/IG program itself;  committee evaluation information; details regarding internal submission processes and supports; a budget calculator; blank Word doc templates for each section of the application (formatted to SSHRC's specifications and instructions); and Word doc templates which include advice, suggestions, and strategies for each section (also with SSHRC formatting).

To request a copy of one of the Template Packages, you must be affiliated with HSS and intending to apply to either the IG or IDG. Also note that the Template Package may not be distributed to anyone outside of HSS. Simply email an HSS GFO with your request.
