Funding Value and Duration
Research on Research Joint Initiative grants are valued at up to $200,000 per grant over three years. SSHRC, CIHR and Health Research BC aim to fund approximately nine grants.
Overview
Research on research, also known as metaresearch, is the application of rigorous methods and analysis to the practice of research itself—its methods, standards and evaluation (see expanded definition below). Founded in 2019, the Research on Research Institute (RoRI) is a consortium of research funders and institutes that undertakes projects that can support the work of funding organizations. RoRI gathers evidence and data; undertakes experiments; and develops tools to improve how research is funded, practiced, communicated and evaluated.
This joint initiative aims to:
- build knowledge and understanding on metaresearch, i.e., the application of rigorous methods and analysis to the practice of research itself—its methods, incentives, standards and evaluation—and the practices of how that research is funded, communicated, applied and evaluated
- produce data on metaresearch that may have impacts on research and innovation policy and funding practices in Canada and other jurisdictions
- take part in knowledge mobilization among Canadian and international researchers, including members of RoRI’s consortium, to contribute to the development of research and innovation policies and research funding practices;
- provide training for students and highly qualified personnel
- build collaborations among researchers working on metaresearch, both in Canada and internationally
Eligibility Criteria
Applications can be submitted by an individual applicant or a team (consisting of one primary applicant and one or more partners, co-applicants and/or collaborators).

Researchers who maintain an affiliation with a Canadian institution that holds institutional eligibility, but whose primary affiliation is with a non-Canadian postsecondary institution, are not eligible for applicant status. To be eligible for Health Research BC funding, applicants and/or co-applicants must be affiliated with a British Columbia-based institution eligible to receive Health Research BC funding.
