IDCR funding will be offered to meritorious and relevant research projects through four streams:

IDCR Research Grant supplements of $20,000 over one year;

IDCR Doctoral Award supplements, valued at $10,000 over one year, for holders of SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships or Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarships Program—Doctoral Scholarships. 

All grant and supplement holders will be expected to use their IDCR funding to participate at the annual Conference on Digital Citizen Research to be organized by Canadian Heritage.  For more information on IDCR funding and how to apply, please refer to the program description.
