Faculty of Medicine researchers have been awarded funding through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council’s Partnership Grants, Partnership Development Grants and Insight Grants programs.
A total of 58 new projects led by UBC researchers received $13 million through the programs and an additional $2.1m was awarded to 35 UBC-led projects announced last year through the Insight Development Grants competition.
These awards were announced as part of the Government of Canada’s investment of more than $635 million for research, which also included funding through NSERC Discovery Grants and the Canada Research Chairs Program. New projects led by UBC researchers and new and renewed UBC Canada Research Chairs were awarded approximately $48 million of this announced investment.

SSHRC Insight Grants
SSHRC Insight Grants support research excellence in the social sciences and humanities. Funding is available to both emerging and established scholars for research initiatives of two to five years. Stable support for long-term research initiatives is central to advancing knowledge. It enables scholars to address complex issues about individuals and societies, and to further our collective understanding.
