Description
Queen's University's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Institutional Grant (SIG) supports small-scale research and research-related activities in the social sciences and humanities. These annual grants are awarded through an institutional merit review process and are intended to help researchers develop work leading to external grant applications. Research-creation is supported, including creative research resulting in artistic works in visual and performing arts and new artistic practices.
The program offers two streams. SSHRC Explore Grants support researchers with modest funding needs at any career stage, enabling project development, pilot work, innovation, experimentation, and student participation. SSHRC Exchange Grants support small-scale knowledge mobilization, including workshops and seminars, as well as attendance or presentations at scholarly conferences and other dissemination venues. These activities promote collaboration and the exchange of findings within and beyond academia, nationally and internationally.
