SSHRC Insight Development Grant eSubmission Procedures (Research Portal)

Your application must be prepared and submitted using the Research Portal and SSHRC CCV.

Use the Research Project Information Form and follow the UBC Signatures requirement.

For UBC co-applicants, electronic acceptance of PI’s invitation to participate in the application meets SSHRC signature requirements, hence no sign-off is required. However, the UBC co-apps will need to determine with their Head/Faculty whether or not they need to review the application and sign. For External co-applicants, electronic acceptance of PI’s invitation to participate in the application meets the SSHRC signature requirement, hence no sign-off is required.

If you are a co-applicant on a grant application initiated by a PI at another institution, you must still submit a copy of the application with required UBC signatures for review, even though the application is being submitted to the agency by another institution. 

Please check with your grant facilitator regarding faculty-specific requirements and/or deadlines.

You can e-mail or drop off the pages to the appropriate ORS location. Ensure you have collected ALL required internal signatures prior to submitting to ORS, and that the documents submitted to ORS are identical to your Research Portal submission.

Submit your full application online using the Research Portal and SSHRC CCV by the above-stated applicant's e-Submission Deadline. To do this, the applicant must complete and link all the forms as described in the SSHRC instructions. First “Verify” to ensure the application is complete. Then click “Submit” to submit your application to ORS for online approval.

If all requirements are met, ORS will approve your application on the Research Portal by SSHRC’s deadline. ORS has read-only access to your application and cannot make changes. If the application is not approved, ORS will return it to you for changes. ORS is no longer required to physically sign applications submitted through SSHRC Research Portal. 

Once ORS has approved your application, the status on the SSHRC Research Portal will change from "Received by Administrator" to “Received by Agency” (see Definition of Application Status #17). Material or revisions received under separate cover (before or after the deadline date) will not be accepted by SSHRC.
