Insight Development Grants support research in its initial stages – the development of new research questions, as well as experimentation with new methods, theoretical approaches and/or ideas proposed by individuals or teams. Proposed projects may involve, but are not limited to, the following types of research activities: case studies; pilot initiatives; and critical analyses of existing research.

Projects may also involve national and international research collaboration, and the exploration of new ways of producing, structuring and mobilizing knowledge within and across disciplines and sectors.

At least 50 per cent of funds per competition will be reserved for applications from emerging scholars and the other 50 per cent of funds can be applied for by established scholars.

• Value: $7,000 up to $75,000
