Global Research Seed Fund

The Global Research Seed Fund is an internal small grant which is intended to support the development of international research initiatives between Dalhousie researchers and their global partners.

Applications are accepted from researchers who are eligible for tri-agency funding; resulting grants are intended to support new or emerging collaborations, of up to one year’s duration, which require start-up support to develop research ties. Such collaborations will be funded up to a maximum of $5,000.

Dalhousie Belong Research Fellowships

Dalhousie has established the Belong Research Fellowships for pre-tenure, tenure-track faculty who are Indigenous and/or members of equity-deserving groups as one means of supporting their development as researchers. Up to four fellowships of $5,000 each are available annually.
