Description
The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Institutional Grant (SIG), administered by Queen's University, provides annual, merit-reviewed support for small-scale research and research-related activities in the social sciences and humanities. The grant encourages both traditional and creative research—including research-creation projects resulting in artistic works across visual and performing arts or new artistic practices. Funding is designed to foster innovation, experimentation, and knowledge mobilization, enabling researchers to develop projects, conduct pilot studies, and disseminate findings within and beyond academia. The program includes SSHRC Explore Grants for project development and SSHRC Exchange Grants for knowledge mobilization activities.
