Mandatory HSS Submission Procedures: This opportunity must be submitted via Memorial's Researcher Portal (RP) by the HSS internal deadline, below, so it can obtain departmental and faculty approvals before being forwarded to the PAO department; it will be Memorial's Research Initiatives and Services (RIS) office who will forward your application to the PAO. Please add "Heather C. O'Brien (Grants Facilitator)” and Matthew Milner (Grants Facilitator) as "Team Members" on your file in addition to "Workflow Coordinator". Please note that there may be other team members that need to be added, such as supervisor(s). You must complete the RP file, attach a .pdf of the agency's application along with all supporting documentation, and press "submit" by the HSS internal deadline listed below. More detailed submission instructions and information can be found on the HSS website here, as the instructions for the ISER and Smallwood competitions also apply to the PAO competition: HSS Research Support Services.

In addition to the RP file submission, applicants who have applied or intend to apply to other funding opportunities related to the project, must email a completed and up to date multiple-application funding template XLSX spreadsheet to the Grants Facilitation Officer handling this competition. Directions are provided in the below, attached template. 

If you are unsure if your project is impacted by Memorial's Rsearch Impacting Indigneous Groups policy, please contact the Indigenous Research Office as soon as possible and before HSS's internal deadline.

If you plan to apply for any of these or other funding opportunities, e-mail an HSS Grants Facilitator: Heather C. O’Brien (HSSResearchAdmin@mun.ca or 864-8603) or Matthew Milner (HSSResearchGrants@mun.ca or 864-8050) to notify the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of your intent to apply. E-mailing the intent to apply as early as possible will help to facilitate an efficient review.
