The SSHRC Institutional Grants (SIG) are funds provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to Saint Paul University (SPU). These grants support small-scale research projects and related activities conducted by our faculty and students in the humanities. Proposals are evaluated through a peer-review process based on merit. As a small-scale institution, Saint Paul University benefits significantly from these funds, which help enhance the excellence of our researchers’ work.
Depending on the budget allocated under the SIG program, this funding enables the university to offer internal SSHRC-supported exploration grants and knowledge exchange grants.
The SIG program is managed by the Vice-Rectorate Academic and Research, which acts as the university’s primary representative and ensures compliance with applicable policies and regulations.
Applications for the SIG program are reviewed by Saint Paul University’s Research Committee.
