Hello researchers,

Humber’s Office of Research and Innovation is seeking researchers and their partners interested in applying for 2023 NSERC - CCSIF Grants (College and Community Social Innovation Fund).

CCSIF is intended to foster social innovation by connecting the talent, facilities, and capabilities of Canada’s colleges and polytechnics with the research needs of local community organizations. CCSIF proposals should facilitate collaborative social innovation research that brings together researchers, students, and partners to address research challenges in social innovation, leading to solutions addressing a Canadian community's needs.

If you have a research project and would like to take it forward with the NSERC – CCSIF 2023 Grant applications, please reach out to manivannan.kannan@humber.ca on or before September 9, 2022 for information about the application process. NSERC allows a maximum of up to five applications from each college, hence the top five will be reviewed and selected for submission.
