SSHRC welcomes feedback on renewed program architecture

Chad GaffieldOver the past year, SSHRC has been in the process of renewing its program architecture to create a simpler, more flexible and effective system of application and assessment.

I encourage you to take the time to review the Briefing on SSHRC’s Renewed Program Architecture (PDF document, 400 KB), which describes in detail the changes we propose to introduce, and presents draft versions of new program literature and a proposed timeline for implementation.

We look forward to working together with the research community and our many partners to recognize and increase the contributions of social sciences and humanities research to Canada and to the world.
