Call for UPEI's 2027 Internal Funding Opportunities applications

Posting Date(s)

UPEI would like to invite interested and eligible applicants to apply for the 2027 internal research funding opportunities. There are a number of funding opportunities for diverse disciplines funded by various external agencies and internal departments. They are listed below: 

The Internal Research Grant (IRG), SSHRC Explore Research Grant (SERG), and the Levesque Internal Research Grant  

The Jeanne and J-Louise Levesque Research Chairs in Human Health 

The Internal Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Research Grant (ISRG)  

The SSHRC Seed Research Grant 

These opportunities support research pursuits through the funding of fully developed research proposals, with the exception of the SSHRC Seed Research Grant, which is designed to support research activities in their early stages that will later lead to a SSHRC proposal with a stronger chance of success. Applicants are encouraged to read the guidelines for the grant that they are interested in applying for, as grant criteria and deadlines differ. 

Please note that applicants may only apply for either the SSHRC Seed OR the SSHRC Explore grant. They are not meant to be held simultaneously.  

The program guidelines and application forms are now updated on the Office of Research Services’ new SharePoint site. This is where applicants should now check for the most up-to-date information. Our SharePoint is where you can also find information on travel funding and other funding opportunities. For further information, please contact researchgrants@upei.ca.  

Late and/or incomplete applications will not be considered for funding.  If you have questions regarding the required components of your application, please contact researchgrants@upei.ca.  However, it is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the application is complete. If you have questions regarding the UPEI Romeo Researcher Portal, please contact researchservices@upei.ca.
