Global Research Excellence-Other International Funding/Resources

The resources below are to help GRE applicants/awardees (i.e. York faculty):

During the GRE application development stage: Consider securing additional matching funds or strategizing how they will sustain/scale the collaboration if they are funded by GRE. The latter is required for all GRE applications.
GRE Post-Award: Go after additional funds from external sources to expand/deepen the collaboration
Identify helpful contacts/resources: For example, who should you be speaking to identify external funding opportunities, for research security, inviting visiting graduate researchers etc.

This includes both York links to York grants and other grant applications related resources

York International Funding for Organizing International Research Workshops at York: If York faculty are organizing an exploratory or proposal development-focused research workshop at York with leading international partners, and planning to engage other York faculty for this workshop, they can apply for funding support of up to 1,000 CAD for catering/hospitality expenses.

This opportunity is subject to the availability of funding, matching commitments from the applicant, merit (academic rationale, alignment with Global Engagement Strategy/Strategic Research Plan, impact, sustainability/scalability etc.), and whether the applicant or applicants have an up to date (with York affiliation) and public ORCID ID. If you have received GRE Stream A or Stream B seed funding for this collaboration, you are not eligible to apply for this funding opportunity.

Assistant Vice-President, Global Engagement & Partnerships will review requests for support.
