Research Grant Planning

The EC provides consultation on costing and budget planning for research proposals.  Our Guidelines for Inclusion of Technology-Based Components  provides examples of IT infrastructure and services costing has been developed to support OISE faculty who are seeking SSHRC funding for projects that require technology-based components. Our goal is to ensure that the applications a) include sufficient budget to cover costs and 2) identify solutions that are in alignment with existing OISE institutional ICT strategies and practices. In order to get an accurate estimate for your SSHRC project costs you will need to consult with the appropriate EC staff person, as noted in the Guidelines for Inclusion of Technology-Based Components.

We also encourage faculty to strengthen their proposals by referring to the recognized capacity within the Education Commons and the opportunity to leverage our existing core services and resources.
