Access to Research Data Centres—Program of Research
The Canadian initiative on social statistics access to research data centres is a strategic joint initiative of SSHRC, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Statistics Canada to promote research and training in the application of social statistics.

The Access to Research Data Centres Program offers an application type called Program of Research, which provides access to research data needed for large projects that have several sub-projects on related themes. Researchers submit a proposal for the approval of the overall research program. Once approved, they can submit an application for specific projects (project summary) that fall under the umbrella of the program of research description.

Applications may be submitted at any time. Results will be announced approximately five to eight weeks after submission.

Applicants must complete the application form in accordance with the accompanying instructions.

Knowledge Synthesis Grants: Skills Development

Knowledge Synthesis Grants are not intended to support original research. They are intended to support the synthesis of existing research knowledge and the identification of knowledge gaps in a format accessible to a particular audience—in this case, primarily government policy-makers, but also education and training institutions, and employers.
