Destination Horizon Grants applicant instructions updated
New applicant instructions for Destination Horizon Grants now spell out the Convergence Portal steps, required supporting documents, and the host-organization cash match required with the application.
The Destination Horizon Grants 2025 applicant instructions now make the application steps explicit, including creating and submitting the application through the Convergence Portal, obtaining institutional approval, and uploading the required supporting documents. The instructions also add grant-specific support contacts and require the host organization to confirm a cash contribution equal to 100% of the amount requested from SSHRC in the support letter and funding templates. The instructions point applicants to a separate deadline listing rather than giving a new deadline date on this page.
