SSHRC Knowledge Synthesis Grants: Mobility and Public Transit

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on November 16, 2020 in Research Funding

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), in partnership with Infrastructure Canada, has launched a Knowledge Synthesis Grants funding opportunity to assess the state of research knowledge on the topic of mobility and public transit.

Public Transit is a key piece of Canada’s core public infrastructure, one that has immediate implications for the social, environmental, and economic well-being of urban and rural communities. It represents the largest funding area under Infrastructure Canada’s Investing in Canada Plan. Through this partnership, SSHRC’s Imagining Canada’s Future initiative seeks to strengthen connections between social sciences and humanities research and society, and to help inform decision-making that contributes to the well-being and prosperity of Canadians.

Knowledge Synthesis Grants are not intended to support original research. Rather, they are intended to support the synthesis of existing research knowledge and the identification of knowledge gaps. This call is particularly focused on the state of research knowledge emerging over the past 10 years.

The award is valued at $30,000 CAD.
