CSAHS Tri-Agency Research Support Programs
The College of Social and Applied Human Sciences provides three types of support for faculty who apply for research funding from the Tri-Agencies:
Financial Support
Seed Program
This program assists early career, tenure-track, faculty who are currently funded by Tri-Agency, or who are preparing to apply for Tri-Agency funding within the next year.
More information will be available next Fall.
Growth Program
This program assists mid-career, tenured, faculty who are currently funded by Tri-Agency, or who are preparing to apply for Tri-Agency funding within the next year.
More information will be available next Fall.
Incentive Program
For further information, contact Francesco Leri, Associate Dean, Research and Graduate Studies (fleri@uoguelph.ca).
Major Collaborative/Strategic Tri-Agency Grant Program
This program supports Lead/Principal applicants who develop complex, collaborative, high-value research grant applications requesting up to $4,000,000 in cash support. These include, for example, Ontario Research Fund-Research Excellence, NSERC CREATE, some NSERC Alliance applications, and SSHRC Partnership grants. Program on hold.

Support Services
Budget Support Program
Faculty members in CSAHS can request individual support from a designated CSAHS Research Finance Accounting Assistant who will:
- Provide budget templates
- Provide costs estimate lists
- Review budgets of grant applications
- Assist the development of Institutional Support for major collaborative/strategic Tri-Agency grant programs
Mentorship Programs
The ADRGS Office administers three programs designed to support Tri-Agency grant submissions and/or resubmissions:
- Peer Review
- Required for new tenure-track hires
- Required for applicants who received support from Seed, Growth and Incentive programs
- Strongly recommended for all faculty applying to Tri-Agencies
- Annual Grant Writing Workshops
- Peer Mentorship
- Offered by members of the CSAHS Council of Research Mentors.
For more information about any of these programs, contact the CSAHS Research Manager.
Teaching Release
Support for teaching release in CSAHS is an exception, not the norm.
Exceptions are evaluated by the Dean and by Department Chairs and require modification of distribution of effort (DOE).
Exceptions are considered when teaching release is an inherent part of a research award (e.g. Killam Fellowship, Canada Research Chair, CIHR New Investigator Award, Principal Investigator on major collaborative/strategic Tri-Agency grants greater than $2 million).
