  • develop, increase or strengthen research excellence in the social sciences and humanities;
  • assist, in particular, researchers embarking on their research career to become competitive in grant competitions at the national level;
  • assist established researchers with modest funding requirements or those wishing to reorient and strengthen their research programs; and
  • support national and international dissemination and collaboration.
