Five LA&PS researchers were among 21 emerging and established York University scholars, who received new funding for research initiatives from the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), totalling a combined $2,882,747, announced on Sept. 13 by the federal government.
Like the recently announced Insight Development Grants, the SSHRC’s Insight Grants support research projects by emerging and established scholars, but with a longer time frame: two to five years led.
The projects funded by the Insight Grants represent a range of research scopes.
“With SSHRC’s endorsement, York’s award-winning faculty are tackling complex issues of the human and social condition and creating positive change for individuals, communities and society at large,” said Amir Asif, vice-president research and innovation. “These grants reinforce the University’s incredible reputation in the social sciences and humanities, providing York researchers and their initiatives with the opportunity to challenge conventional thinking, contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and deepen the collective understanding about our world.”
The 5 LA&PS researchers were among 503 researchers at universities across the country to receive Insight Grants.
