ArcticNet’s Knowledge Mobilization Grant funds impactful applications of northern research and opportunities for two-way dialogue about research results with northern communities. Researchers (including community-based researchers) may apply for funding to support knowledge mobilization activities including (but not limited to) presentations at elementary/high schools, community events and workshops, the production of art or games, the creation of policy documents or fact sheets, the translation of texts into Indigenous languages, capacity-building activities, and/or other approaches to knowledge mobilization. We look to support activities that are impactful (meaningful), that encourage dialogue, and that advance reconciliation. We particularly encourage activities that engage northern Indigenous children and youth, or decision-makers.  

Amount: For this funding call, we are looking to award between 2-4 grants valued between $5,000 and $10,000.  

Eligibility: The Knowledge Mobilization Grant is open to all researchers working in Northern Canada, including those based in communities, at Indigenous organizations, and at academic institutions. 

Accessibility: You may submit responses in English, Inuktut, or French. You may request translation of the application form into Inuktut, and/or to submit you application in a format other than SurveyMonkey (oral or otherwise). For these or other accessibility questions, contact: melody.lynch@arcticnet.ca.
