The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Michael Smith Health Research BC announce upcoming launch of a new joint initiative regarding research on research
The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and Michael Smith Health Research BC are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of a new joint initiative as part of ongoing efforts to support research on research (also known as meta-research) in the Canadian context. This joint initiative will launch on September 27, 2024, and the deadline to apply will be February 20, 2025.
Research on research is the application of rigorous methods and analysis to the practice of research itself – its methods, standards, and evaluation.
The goal of the initiative is to enhance national capacity for meta-research and to bring Canadian expertise and perspectives into the international dialogue on improving research funding practices. Meta-research is a vital element of social sciences and humanities research, as well as multi-disciplinary research, as it allows for greater insight into the ways in which research is conducted, evaluated, and supported. As such, this joint initiative will welcome applications dealing with meta-research in any disciplinary context.
Grants will be valued at up to $200,000 each, over three years. SSHRC, CIHR, and Michael Smith Health Research BC aim to fund approximately nine grants to applicants affiliated with eligible Canadian institutions.
