$190,000 awarded to broaden impact of McGill’s social sciences and humanities research

Five McGill University researchers have been awarded more than $190,000 in Connection Grants by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). The awards are part of $2.5 million in federal funding invested in 85 projects nationwide.

The Connection Grants program aims to realize the potential of social sciences and humanities research to influence, benefit, and impact society, within and beyond postsecondary institutions. Grants can be used to support events and outreach activities geared toward short-term knowledge mobilization initiatives.
