Description
The Knowledge Mobilization Grants, part of the University of Alberta's Killam Research Fund, are designed to help researchers in the humanities and social sciences effectively share, translate, and disseminate their research findings beyond academic circles. These grants fund short-term, targeted activities such as events, workshops, outreach, and the development of tools or media that engage community, policy, and other non-academic audiences. The goal is to ensure that research has a meaningful impact outside the university and to support activities that may serve as a foundation for larger, externally funded projects in the future.
