Grants
General financial regulations for SSHRC grants are in the Tri-Agency Guide on Financial Administration. For certain programs, non-financial regulations, as well as some program-specific financial regulations, are in the program literature.
SSHRC reserves the right to interpret these regulations, and any conditions applied to individual grants. SSHRC program officers can answer specific questions about grant administration.
SSHRC may need to alter, without advance notice, terms and conditions of grant awards. Any and all major changes in regulations will be announced promptly.
