The Global Risk Institute (GRI) was excited to partner with the Retirement and Savings Institute at HEC Montréal to solicit research proposals on Pensions, Household Financial Wellness, and Retirement. Amounts of $40,000–$90,000 (CAD) were made available for each project over a period of 18 months.

Submissions were welcomed from university faculty, whether based in Canada or elsewhere, who were scholars in finance, economics, business, and related fields.
