SSHRC Insight Grants (IG) support long-term research initiatives in the social sciences and humanities for 2-5 years. Applicants choose from one of two streams, depending on the amount of funding required:
- Stream A: $7,000 to $100,000

On January 16, 2024, the Government of Canada published its Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern (STRAC), which applies to this funding opportunity. Grant applications that involve conducting research and related activities that aim to advance a sensitive technology research area will not be funded if any of the researchers involved in activities supported by the grant are affiliated with, or in receipt of funding or in-kind support from, a university, research institute or laboratory connected to military, national defence or state security entities that could pose a risk to Canada's national security. In the application form, the applicant must indicate whether research activities funded by this grant will advance any of the areas in the Sensitive Technology.
