Objective
This funding opportunity will support research that will foster a deeper understanding of the state of knowledge about the global challenge Envisioning Governance Systems that Work. This competition will include two streams:
- Stream 1 will be reserved for applications submitted by an applicant affiliated with an eligible Canadian institution. CIHR may fund up to 3 projects in this stream and SSHRC may fund up to 17.
- Stream 2 will be reserved for applications jointly submitted by two, one based in Canada and the other in the United Kingdom, who are affiliated with eligible institutions in their respective countries. SSHRC, UKRI-AHRC and UKRI-ESRC may jointly fund up to 27 projects.
The resulting syntheses will identify roles that the academic, public, private and not-for-profit sectors could play in promoting more inclusive, equitable societies, and could inform development of effective tools and technologies, robust policies, and sustainable practices needed to support the path toward a diverse and inclusive future for all.
