Funding Opportunities: Home

While there are many ways a research project can be funded, there are two main pathways researchers have in terms of grant funding:

• Tri-Council Funding: The Tri-Council refers to the three national funding agencies in Canada: the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). These are the funding bodies through which the Government of Canada supports research across various disciplines and various levels of researchers;
• National and International Funding: These opportunities are vast and are often supported by professional organizations, academic institutions, international government bodies, as well as nonprofit organizations. Examples of these opportunities would include funding opportunities from the University of Toronto as well as the National Institutes of Health in the United States.
