Canada’s three research granting agencies (SSHRC, NSERC and CIHR) have collaborated to launch a new funding initiative designed to generate opportunities for early career researchers (ECRs) to conduct high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research not available through funding opportunities currently offered by the three agencies. The New Frontiers in Research Fund seeks to inspire highly innovative projects that defy current research paradigms, propose a unique scientific direction, bring disciplines together beyond the traditional disciplinary approaches, and/or use different perspectives to solve existing problems. The program is managed by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
Important note: Please note that the eligibility criteria for team members is highly specific, as are the types of projects that the program is designed to support. Please be sure to read carefully the program description and eligibility criteria.
