2024 NSERC-CCSIF Grant Applications and Notice of Intent (NOI) Due Soon

Hello researchers, Humber’s Office of Research & Innovation is seeking researchers and their partners interested in applying for 2024 NSERC-CCSIF Grants (College and Community Social Innovation Fund). Our Info Session recording is now available.

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 2024 Grant applications, please complete Notice of Intent document and reach out to manivannan.kannan@humber.ca on or before June 21, 2023, with your completed NOI.

NSERC allows a maximum of up to five applications from each college, ORI will convene a review panel to ensure that your research aligns with the CCSIF criteria and will shortlist up to five NOIs.

Looking for more information? 

Please feel free to reach out to manivannan.kannan@humber.ca if you have any questions or concerns. We truly appreciate your time and interest.
