Humber’s Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) is seeking researchers and community partners interested in applying for 2024 NSERC-CCSIF Grants (College & Community Social Innovation Fund).
The NSERC College and Community Social Innovation Fund (CCSIF) enables colleges to increase their capacity to work with communities and to develop partnerships that foster social innovation in areas such as education, integration of vulnerable populations, and community development. CCSIF grants support well-defined and focused social innovation projects undertaken by college researchers with their partners from the public, private, or not-for-profit sectors. ORI is facilitating this introductory information session as part of that support.
