The Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) recently announced the recipients of its 2024 SSHRC Insight Grants awarding $127.6 million in funding to 693 research projects from institutions across Canada. Among the recipients are 40 McGill-led projects, totalling just over $7 million.
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.
The grants awarded to McGill researchers in this round of competition span a diverse range of topics related to individuals and society, from the role of generative AI in the scientific ideation process, to decoding the complexities of addiction, to exploring the effects of a rhythm-based music program on language and cognitive skills of students on the autism spectrum.
