Competition

* Unless explicitly noted, all times indicated for deadlines are for the appropriate NL timezone (NST or NDT)

Support is awarded for the presentation of papers at academic conferences in Canada or elsewhere, in disciplines supported by SSHRC.

A faculty member may receive just one travel grant in two academic years.  A travel grant is deemed to be received as of the date of the conference for which support was received.

Preference will be given to applications where support from other sources, preferably external to the University, is also forthcoming.

For further information, please see application form (attached PDF).

Please note, If the deadline falls during a weekend or University closure day, the deadline shall be the first working day following the deadline.

HSS (Mandatory) Procedures: This opportunity must be submitted for Departmental review and HSS administrative review via Memorial's Researcher Portal (RP) for submission to Research, Initiatives and Services (RIS) for adjudication. Please add "Heather C. O'Brien (Grants Facilitator)" and “Matthew Milner (Grants Facilitator)” as "Team Members" on the RP file. Once your Department and the HSS Dean's Office have approved the RP file, the application is routed to RIS as official submission to the competition.

In accordance with University-wide approval protocols, all tabs of the RP file must be completed, the completed application must be uploaded to the “Attachments” tab, all supporting documentation including support for cash and in-kind commitments and/or letters of support must also be uploaded, and “Submit” must be pressed prior to the HSS internal deadline listed below. HSS cannot guarantee completion of an administrative review for application files that are incomplete and/or are submitted after the HSS deadline. For more detailed submission instructions and information, please consult the HSS Research Support Services website.

If you plan to apply to this competition or other research funding opportunities (as either PI or CI), 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. A Grants Facilitator can answer any questions you may have about internal or external submission procedures and may also be able to help with proposal development.
