Insight Grants support research excellence in the social sciences and humanities.The objectives of the program are to:

• build knowledge and understanding from disciplinary, interdisciplinary and/or cross-sector perspectives through support for the best researchers;

• support new approaches to research on complex and important topics, including those that transcend the capacity of any one scholar, institution or discipline;

• provide a high-quality research training experience for students;

• fund research expertise that relates to societal challenges and opportunities; and

• mobilize research knowledge, to and from academic and non-academic audiences, with the potential to lead to intellectual, cultural, social and economic influence, benefit and impact.

The McMaster Research Office for Administration, Development & Support (ROADS) will be hosting an information session featuring:

• Representatives from ROADS who will outline the SSHRCInsight Grant application submission process

• Insight Grant Selection Committee members who will share their experiences with the grant review process and offer guidance to potential applicants.

If you have specific questions about SSHRC grant programs that you would like ROADS and/or the Selection Committee members to address during the information session, please note them on the registration form.
