Supports the development of small-scale, preliminary research projects to establish a foundation for future SSHRC funding success.
Value: $7,000
Connections Supports activities to develop or facilitate community
relationships or other partnerships prior to applying to one of SSHRC’s programs.
Value: $3,000
Enhancement Supports emerging scholars to undertake activities to
strengthen an Insight or Insight Development proposal for resubmission to SSHRC.

Writing Circles
President’s SSHRC Fund Writing Circles
Writing circles are a collegial approach to academic writing that facilitate the pooling of expertise and the exchange of recommended writing practices. Writing circles provide dedicated time for academic writing and peer support. Participation in writing groups has been shown to increase scholarly productivity (Brandon et al., 2015). Our current term of College Writing Circles are ongoing and you are welcome to join. For more information contact Ranjan ([email protected]) or Laurie ([email protected]).
Manuscript Publication (Academic) Writing Circle:
To facilitate academic writing, several writing circle opportunities are envisioned including a faculty writing circle, a joint faculty-graduate student writing circle, and writing pairs (“buddy system”). These writing circles are in progress and planned to continue until the end of May from 1:30pm-3:30pm in ED 3058.
Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks
Date and Location: TBA
The goal for this 12 Weeks Journal Article group is to aid you in revising your journal article and sending it the editor of a suitable academic journal. If you are interested in joining our 12 weeks Writing group please contact [email protected].
Graduate Student Project, Capstone, Thesis and Dissertation Support:
Feeling overwhelmed? Confused about your project/thesis/dissertation and the next steps? Wondering how to find the “right” question, identify a research gap, or how to conduct your analysis? Want advice and support from peers and faculty on how to get started or complete your thesis? Anyone who has survived his/her own thesis or dissertation knows that one of the “most daunting parts of the task is not the mechanics of the writing, but simply getting started — and then keeping at it” (Delyser, 2003, p. 170). For more information on current supports please contact Stephanie at [email protected].

In Need of Research Funding
The UnivRS team has launched a research funding opportunities database at the U of S. This searchable database allows faculty, students and staff to quickly and easily locate over 600 internal and external funding opportunities to support their research, scholarly and artistic works – totaling over $50M and growing.
The database may be accessed through the U of S Research website or UnivRS Public Web.
