News from SSHRC: Reminder: New Knowledge Synthesis Grant Competition: Gender-Based Violence
SSHRC and Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) recently launched a Knowledge Synthesis Grants (KSG) funding opportunity to assess the state of research knowledge on the topic of gender-based violence under SSHRC’s Imagining Canada’s Future initiative. The focus of this call is on the state of knowledge on gender-based violence (GBV) in Canada. These KSGs support the synthesizing of existing knowledge and identifying knowledge gaps on this topic and stimulating knowledge mobilization. Please note that this funding opportunity complements, but is also distinct from, the Gender-Based Violence Research Initiative competition recently launched. Both competitions are open concurrently with different deadlines and focus: The goal of the KSGs is to examine and synthesize existing knowledge on gender-based violence. Gender-Based Research Violence Initiative partnership grants, however, aim to produce new research on particular themes related to GBV. The deadline for KSG applications is September 1, 2022.
