Service Standards Annual Results
SSHRC has set service standards for the timely delivery of its funding opportunities for the services outlined below.
SSHRC service standards apply to all Transfer Payment Programs administered by SSHRC.
Note: An adjustment was made to the time period during which data is collected in order to comply with Treasury Board reporting requirements. As a result, there was a data overlap between the 2016-17 and the 2017-18 results for the following services: acknowledgement of receipt of application; notification of competition results to institutions; and notification of competition results to applicants.
