UMIH is seeking proposals for our External
Grant Support program. This funding source was established in order to help researchers in the Faculty of Arts who are seeking external
funding for conferences, workshops, colloquia, and other local research events. This program has been devised with SSHRC Connections
and SSHRC Partnership Engage grants in mind, but it is open to applicants targeting other funding agencies or organizations. Applicants are asked to contact the UMIH with the details of the grant before applying to ensure that their application can be supported
under the UMIH mandate.
