Summary
Funds participatory research addressing a community-identified disability-accessibility need, with practical improvements as the goal and exclusions for mental-health-only or prevention projects. Projects run up to 18 months and receive up to $35,000, including at least $10,000 for community-led activities; Université Laval pays the lead researcher’s host institution rather than the community organization. Société inclusive offers help connecting organizations and researchers; optional Mitacs funding has separate conditions. Confirm the guide-and-FAQ eligibility conflict and full team requirements before applying.
Eligibility
A provincially or federally incorporated nonprofit with its head office and most activities in Quebec, in good standing with the Registraire des entreprises du Québec, must lead with two eligible researchers and at least one person with a disability. It needs a democratically elected volunteer board mostly resident in Quebec; associations and nonprofit social enterprises qualify, but public bodies and private companies cannot lead. One researcher must have FRQ status 1 to 3 or 4a and one must belong to a Société inclusive partner research centre or network. The AP14 guide requires a disability-serving mandate, while the FAQ allows other nonprofits with active participation by disabled people; confirm with Société inclusive. One lead application per organization annually.
