Description

PLEASE NOTE: an LOI is required to be submitted the lead principal investigator to be eligible for consideration.

RIS will be offering support with application development for this opportunity. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Jennifer Stevens (v5js@mun.ca) or Dr. Amanda Crompton (ajcrompt@mun.ca) early during the development process to discuss the services available to them.

The Preparing for Tomorrow call will fund collaborative research that advances conceptual, empirical, and normative understanding of how societies envision, prepare for, and respond to uncertain futures. It seeks to generate knowledge that supports resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking strategies, and that informs policy and practice at local, national, and international levels. The call brings together research funding organizations from countries in South America, Africa, North America, and Europe, and will support international projects that contribute to our understanding of how societies envision, prepare for, and respond to uncertain futures.

Applicants in Canada can request up to $250,000 over two to three years.

The deadline to submit the required letter of intent is July 8, 2026, and the deadline to submit the full application is October 28, 2026.
