SSHRC/Law Commission of Canada

Relationships in Transition Grants

This new SSHRC joint initiative with the Law Commission of Canada is intended to encourage multidisciplinary approaches to law reform in terms of key relationship issues, in order to explore and assess alternative policy options. Specific objectives include: encouraging the examination of relationship issues from multidisciplinary perspectives; supporting policy-relevant writing on these relationships; assessing the state of our knowledge and identify new avenues of research into relationship issues; promoting multi- or interdisciplinary capacities on issues surrounding law reform; and creating alliances between academic disciplines, the LCC and policy makers. Each year, the program will focus on one of four themes: economic relationships, personal relationships, social relationships, and governance relationships. The theme for the 1999 competition is Economic Relationships. These are one-year grants of up to $40,000.

Deadline: June 15

CIDA/AUCC

University Partnerships in Cooperation and Development Program

Please be advised that the internal date for submission of draft proposals for the selection of the two York CIDA/AUCC UPCDP Tier 2 proposals is now June 15. In spite of university efforts to convince CIDA and AUCC that a limit of two proposals per university does not recognize the academic breadth of York, the restriction remains. York, committed to supporting and forwarding strong institutional proposals, therefore has set out an internal process. Complete details of this process is available from ORA or York International.

Deadline: June 15 (to submit draft proposals to York International)

Health Institutes Design Grants

The CHSRF is awarding $40,000 to support groups of researchers who wish to write position papers that will contribute ideas on how the social sciences and humanities and/or health services and nursing research should be integrated into the broadly-based health research investigations of the CIHR.

The results will be announced June 11, and position papers will be due October 1.
