Description
Institutional Signature not required for Expression of Interest (EOI) submission. RGCS asks that researchers please notify RGCS, your Associate Dean (Research) or your Grants Facilitator of your intention to apply to this opportunity.
Making the Shift – Youth Homelessness Social Innovation Lab (MtS) is a federally funded Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE), with the goal of transforming how we respond to youth homelessness in Canada. MtS is designed to affect a shift from the ad-hoc response to youth homelessness – centered on emergency services and time-limited supports – to a strategic and coordinated system that prioritizes the prevention and ending of youth homelessness.
Making the Shift has put out a call for Expressions of Interest for research and implementation projects focusing on the prevention of, and/or sustainable exits from youth homelessness. Projects are eligible for one to five years of funding. Successful applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal this summer.
Funding Streams
There are two funding streams one can apply to:
- Core Research Projects (CRP) These are larger and potentially multi-year projects (2-5 years) with budgets of $50,000-$100,000 annually ($500,000 total for a five-year project).
- Small Research Projects (SRP) This program funds smaller scale, shorter term research projects valued at less than $50,000 (total).The application process for this stream is less onerous.
