The Government of Canada has announced a major investment of more than $1.6 billion for research, which included 22 faculty members of the UBC Sauder School of Business receiving over $1.9 million in grants through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) grant programs.
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Grants
SSHRC Insight Grants support research excellence in the social sciences and humanities. Funding is available to both emerging and established scholars for research initiatives of two to five years. Insight Development Grants support research in its initial stages. The grants enable the development of new research questions, as well as experimentation with new methods, theoretical approaches and/or ideas. Funding is provided for short-term research development projects of up to two years that are proposed by individuals or teams.
