Dear Faculty,

The Office of Research & Innovation is pleased to invite you to an upcoming information session on the SSHRC Partnership Suite Grants.

This session will introduce participants to two key funding opportunities from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) designed to support academic-community and academic-industry collaborations:

  • Partnership Engage Grants (PEG): Support short-term, timely research partnerships between postsecondary researchers and a single non-academic organization (community, public, or private sector). Ideal for exploring emerging issues or laying the groundwork for longer-term collaboration.
  • Partnership Development Grants (PDG): Support the development of new research partnerships or the design and testing of partnership approaches. These grants are well-suited for faculty looking to strengthen existing collaborations or establish large-scale, long-term initiatives.

Session Details

This information session will provide:

  • An overview of both funding opportunities.
  • Insights into eligibility, scope, and requirements.
  • Guidance on preparing strong applications.
  • Information on supports available through the Office of Research & Innovation.

Whether you are exploring a new research collaboration or looking to expand an existing one, this session will provide the tools and information you need to get started.

We encourage all faculty members interested in research partnerships to attend.

Collective Action Learning Hub

The Office of EDIB is hosting a Belonging Series this fall through its Collective Action Learning Hub and you are invited! 

Register now for a powerful, interactive session on how to foster belonging across our campus community—from classrooms to offices and everywhere in between.

Through storytelling, reflection and hands-on activities, you'll:  

  • Examine the difference between diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and why belonging is essential for transformative learning and leadership. 

  • Explore practical strategies for cultivating belonging at the classroom, team, and institutional levels. 

  • Identify barriers that prevent individuals from experiencing belonging, particularly for underserved and equity-seeking communities. 

  • Practice frameworks for courageous communication, inclusive facilitation, and building relational trust. 

  • Participants will leave with concrete tools and strategies they can apply immediately to create environments where every learner, colleague, and community member feels a true sense of belonging. 

Join us for this impactful conversation! Visit our events page for information about future offerings.
