SSHRC grants over $5 million to McGill scholars

Published: 29 April 2003

McGill University researchers have over five million reasons to rejoice today. The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada has granted $5,061,612 to enable McGill scholars to carry out a slew of research projects (please read list below).

The investment is part of the $73 million that the SSHRC is allocating to researchers across the country, including $20.8 million to 13 Quebec universities or 224 research projects. To qualify for SSHRC awards, Quebec university researchers succeeded in rigorous national peer-review competitions. For a complete list of awards, organized by theme and by province, please consult the website.

SSHRC is an independent federal government agency that funds university-based research and graduate training through national peer-review competitions. SSHRC also partners with public and private sector organizations to focus research and aid the development of better policies and practices in key areas of Canada's social, cultural and economic life.
