Goal
The goal of the Insight program is to build knowledge and understanding about people, societies and the world by supporting research excellence in all subject areas eligible for funding from SSHRC.
Insight Development Grants
Insight Development Grants are one to two years in duration and support research in its initial stages. These grants are targeted toward emerging researchers, as well as researchers who would like to explore new research questions or experiment with new methods, theoretical approaches and/or ideas.

New for this competition
For this competition, an exception has been extended for those applicants who were unsuccessful in a SSHRC Insight Development grant competition on the same year. That means that those who submitted an application for an Insight Development Grant in February and were not awarded, are eligible to submit an Insight Grant application in October. Please, see below for the statement from SSHRC.
“Multiple applications and holding multiple awards
Individuals may apply, as an applicant, for only one Insight Grant at a time.
Normally, researchers may not apply as an applicant for an Insight Grant and an Insight Development Grant within the same calendar year. However, in 2017, SSHRC approved an exception to this regulation to allow researchers who applied unsuccessfully for an Insight Development Grant in February to apply for an Insight Grant in October. SSHRC will extend this exception to the multiple applications regulations for the foreseeable future. Therefore, researchers who applied for an Insight Development Grant in February 2019 and were not successful may apply for an Insight Grant in October 2019.
A researcher who applies for an Insight Grant in October 2019 may apply for an Insight Development Grant in February 2020, provided that the objectives of the research are significantly different.
