Reminder! New Faculty Internal Grant Program Deadline October 1, 2018
Posted on: Sep 19, 2018
The Office of Research Services is pleased to announce the launch of the new faculty internal grant program architecture. The new program aligns Concordia University of Edmonton more closely with the format and requirements of Tri-Council and creates a more effective system of application and adjudication.
The next deadline for applications is October 1, 2018.
New Grant Streams
Under this new program architecture, there are two grant streams: Impact Grants for Knowledge Mobilization activities and Seed Grants for short-term research initiatives. These two new grant streams take the place of the previous Faculty Internal Grant.
New Applications & Guidelines
Impact Grants
Impact Grants support knowledge mobilization activities that move research knowledge into outcomes and impact in academia and in the community. These funds support short-term, targeted KMb activities such as presentations at conferences, workshops, juried artistic exhibits, oral histories, interactive, digital and video technologies, commissioned reports, knowledge syntheses, and other forms of connecting and disseminating research knowledge.
Next Deadline: October 1, 2018 | Application >> | Guidelines>>
Seed Grants
Seed Grants provide funding for faculty research projects, particularly those that have the potential to lead to applications to external funding agencies. Grants awarded through this fund serve as seed funding to carry out essential developmental work that will be used in developing research programs and preparing applications for external funding opportunities. Seed Grants are intended to build and sustain a vibrant research culture at Concordia University of Edmonton and to develop and support research and innovation, and enhancing CUE competitiveness.

Annual Deadlines
Three competitions are held per year. October 1st | February 1st | May 15th. Applications are no longer being accepted year-round.
Adjudication Rubrics
Applications will be evaluated and available funds awarded through a competitive process. The rubric used for assessment is available in the guidelines. The total funding envelope for 2018 – 2019 is set by the institution’s annual budget. Because this funding is limited, the demand for funds normally exceeds the funds available and not all proposals can be awarded
