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

The Law Foundation welcomes grant applications from individuals and organizations. To be eligible, proposed projects must align with one or more of the statutory objects, be law-related, and provide meaningful benefits to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Grant decisions are made by the Board of Governors based on factors like consistency with the Foundation’s mission, community involvement and benefit, creativity, innovation, and availability of matching or alternative funding. Inspiration to apply? Reach out to our Executive Director for guidance.

Please see the application form.

In addition to the external funding agency’s submission procedures, this opportunity must also be submitted for Departmental, HSS Faculty, and Research Initiatives and Services (RIS) institutional reviews and approvals via Memorial's Researcher Portal (RP). In order to facilitate the HSS Faculty’s administrative review, please ensure "Heather C. O'Brien (Grants Facilitator)" and “Matthew Milner (Grants Facilitator)” are added as "Team Members" on your RP file. 

This application requires a Letter of Support from the HSS Dean, and an institutional signature - the GFO assigned will assist with both as part of the internal review process.

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.
