Introduction
You have been invited to participate as a collaborator on a Connection Grants application for the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
You are encouraged to consult the instructions while you are completing your form by clicking on the “Instructions” button at any time within a screen. This button will link you directly to the instructions for the screen you are completing.
Accepting your invitation
When you accept this invitation, you will be required to complete the Accept Invitation—Collaborator Information form.
Once this form is complete, you must return to your Portfolio page and verify and correct the data until the Verification Report indicates successful verification. A PDF copy of your “Accept Invitation” form will be attached to the applicant’s application form. The status on the Portfolio will change from “In Progress” to “Verified.” You can preview the form and print it in PDF format by clicking the “Preview” button.
When the applicant / project director electronically submits their application form to the institution’s research administrator, the status on your Portfolio for that “Accept Invitation” form will change to “Submitted.”
Removal from the application
If you decide not to participate in an application, click on “Delete.” The system will remove the invitation from your Portfolio and from SSHRC’s database. It will generate an email notifying the applicant / project director that you have deleted the invitation.
The applicant / project director may also remove you from the list of participants at any time, at which point the invitation will disappear from your Portfolio and SSHRC’s database, and you will receive a system-generated email.
Application summary
The information provided by the applicant / project director in the Identification module of their application form is automatically included here. The fields are not editable: they are read-only.
Collaborator information

Note that individuals from the private sector or federal government may participate only as collaborators.
