Council
SSHRC’s governing council promotes and assists research and scholarship in the social sciences and humanities. It meets regularly to set policy and program priorities, allocate budgets, and to advise the minister of Innovation, Science and Industry and Parliament on research policy in these areas.
The vice-president and chair of SSHRC’s governing council chairs its meetings and plays a key role in strengthening the council’s ability to:
- provide the SSHRC president with independent guidance; and
- oversee SSHRC’s strategic directions.
Council members elect the vice-president and chair, subject to approval by the governor-in-council.
