A range of research topics directly related to policies driving efficiency gains for Canadian companies is welcome, including, for example, technology adoption, innovation and commercialization, firm investment decisions, workforce skills gaps, competitive intensity, the regulatory environment, supply chain management, scalability, monetary and fiscal policy, and managing through economic disruptions, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants must demonstrate how their proposed program of research would contribute substantially to development of actionable public policies that strengthen Canada\u2019s productivity.<\/p>\n<p>The successful partnership is expected to advance research, capacity, and policy development in the target area by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>engaging one or more federal government departments to identify and address public policy needs;<\/li>\n<li>conducting long-term research that generates knowledge with the potential to inform federal policy-making;<\/li>\n<li>working with, adapting and\/or developing comprehensive datasets relevant to the needs of the public policy community and future researchers;<\/li>\n<li>improving access and use of research knowledge within Canada\u2019s policy-making communities; and<\/li>\n<li>supporting high-quality training experiences for students and\/or postdoctoral researchers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"special-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the initial five-year grant period, applicants must include a plan to secure contributions from the host institution and partner organizations amounting to at least 50% of the budget requested from SSHRC. While contributions can be both cash and in-kind, at least 25% of the requested amount from SSHRC must be in cash. For example, if $2 million is requested from SSHRC for the first grant period, the plan must indicate that at least $500,000 in cash and $500,000 in in-kind contributions are being secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-apply\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Internal Process&nbsp;(mandatory)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prospective applicants must complete an <a href=\"https:\/\/research.carleton.ca\/coris\/sshrc-policy-innovation-partnership-grant-registration\/\">online registration form<\/a>.
