This category aims to encourage university research on Québec at American universities, relating to the themes targeted in components 1 or 2 . The grant will serve to cover the costs related to the drafting of an article-length manuscript publishable in a university journal, or the drafting of a chapter of a book slated to be published.

The main goal of the research will be to promote a better understanding of Québec and/or its relations with the United States.

This category is for full-time professors who hold permanent positions or are on their way to becoming permanent and who are currently working in an accredited American university or college that offer four-year programs, as well as for recent PhD graduates who are either American citizens or are permanent residents of the United States.

The grant from the Ministry of International Relations and la Francophonie (MRIF) may not exceed $6,000 USD for a professor, or $10,000 USD for the research group director. MRIF’s financial commitment, subject to the prerogatives of the National Assembly with regard to the adoption of annual appropriations, covers a fiscal year beginning April 1 and ending March 31.

MRIF will grant funding solely to the American partner in charge of the project. Research on highly specialized subjects—applied sciences, health sciences, methodology—is not eligible unless it involves multidisciplinary projects (humanities, social sciences, or applied sciences).

The grant will be paid in two installments: 50% of the total amount upon reception of the signed letter of agreement or grant agreement, and the remainder upon reception and acceptance of the final report. Failure to provide the final report within 60 days of the end of the project may result in the cancellation of the second installment.

Any extension of the deadline must be agreed upon beforehand with the Québec office concerned with the project. Applications must clearly fall into one of the categories of the two components and touch on one or more of the themes of the component in question. For projects of an amount equal to CAD $10,000, a grant agreement must be signed between the parties.

For all other projects, the partner must sign a letter of agreement and return it to the Québec office in their territory, who will then send the first installment.
