Transdisciplinary Connector Grants
Transdisciplinary Connector Grants aim to support activities that help build new transdisciplinary connections. The proposed activities need to clearly show how they will result in lasting new connections as well as how they will benefit the area of scholarship being addressed.
- Initiating stream: $10,000 for 6 months
- Consolidating stream: $20,000 for 12 months
- Deadlines: May 15, Aug 15, Nov 15, Feb 15
Transdisciplinary Connector Grants are meant for activities that are typically brief in duration (requiring clear timelines for the activities described) with highly targeted aims (scholars identify how the proposed activities lead to or intersect with broader, longer term transdisciplinary collaborations). Connector Grants may build on current programs but are intended to support work that goes beyond the current scope of those programs. Leverage of existing resources and contributions (financial or in-kind) is welcome but not required.
Transdisciplinary activities are recognised as team-driven initiatives with equal importance and responsibility of each proposed team member. The team applying for Transdisciplinary Connector Grants should consist of a minimum of two (2) scholars with diverse backgrounds. At the conclusion of the grant period, a team must submit a report outlining the outcomes of the Connector Grant.
