SARMAC Collaborative Grants - Call for Proposals (Deadline Dec 1, 2023)

The SARMAC Committee on Diversity and Inclusion is pleased to open a call for proposals for the inaugural SARMAC Collaborative Grants.

SARMAC is committed to fostering the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion within our community. We are also dedicated to removing barriers that have been historically encountered and that are currently experienced by some members of our society. We are therefore excited to announce that we will be offering a number of grants designed to promote international collaborations within the SARMAC community and to support the work of researchers from underrepresented backgrounds and geographic locations.

The awards will fund up to $2000 USD in research expenses to support a new collaboration between two researchers from different institutions. We welcome and encourage applications from Indigenous peoples, racialised persons, visible minorities, women, persons with disabilities, sexual and gender minorities, researchers from countries in which SARMAC is underrepresented, and members of all underrepresented groups who lack funding opportunities to support their research.

The grants can be used to fund costs associated with a joint research project (e.g., participant payments, equipment, travel for the purposes of collecting data). The grants can also be used as seed funding to enable pilot data collection or preliminary work to support a larger grant application. 

To apply, you will need to submit a short proposal (1-3 pages) including:

  • A description of the proposed research project (background, methods, expected results, & significance)

  • A proposed budget

  • A rough project timeline

  • A statement explaining how the project will help foster diversity and inclusion within SARMAC and/or support international collaboration.


Applications are due December 1st, 2023 by the end of the day (11.59pm) anywhere on earth.

To apply, complete the application form HERE.
