Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) -SSHRC Institutional Grants
For the first time, Saint Paul University (SPU) is applying to the SSHRC Institutional Grants (SIG) program. The funds obtained are used to support small-scale research and research-related activities of its faculty and students in the humanities and social sciences, following a peer-review process. As a small university, the CIS is a tremendous support to strengthen the excellence of our researchers' work.
This funding is used to provide internal exploration grants and knowledge exchange grants.
The CIS reports to the Vice-Rector, Academic and Research, who serves as the primary representative of SPU and ensures compliance with applicable policies and regulations.
Applications to the CIS program are reviewed by the SPU Research Committee.
