The federal funding announced today included support for 21 Queen’s researchers.
Today, the Government of Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) announced the results of grants awarded under the Insight program, which aims to advance our understanding of how individuals and societies think , live and interact with each other and with the world around them. The program places particular emphasis on research that addresses complex societal challenges and opportunities.
“Now more than ever, social sciences and humanities research plays a vital role as we navigate the post-COVID-19 reality and continue to build a healthier, stronger and more prosperous Canada,” said the Minister. Honorable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister. of Innovation, Science and Industry. “These grants allow scholars to tackle complex questions about communities and societies and deepen our collective understanding so that we can build a better future for all Canadians.
Twenty-one Queen’s researchers have received funding totaling $3.6 million to advance their research projects.
“These important SSHRC programs fund projects at all stages of the research continuum – from initial research to the dissemination of results,” explains Nancy Ross, Vice-Principal (Research). “The Queen’s projects address all societal challenges in creative and innovative ways and ultimately help us better understand the world around us.”
Insight Grants provide long-term support (two to five years) for research initiatives led by emerging and established researchers. Applicants are encouraged to consider addressing one or more of the 16 future global challenges identified by SSHRC’s Imagining Canada’s Future initiative.
Partnership Development Grants fund new or existing teams that carry out research or activities – including knowledge mobilization – in the social sciences and humanities, or that design and test new models of research and related activities that can be amplified at a regional, national or international level.
Finally, Aid to Scholarly Journals aims to increase the dissemination of research results and encourage open access publishing by supporting journals and their dissemination on Canadian not-for-profit platforms.
