Launch of the 2018 SSHRC Impact Awards Competition

Posted by Danielle Andres on December 11, 2017 in Announcements

SSHRC is pleased to announce the launch of SSHRC’s 2018 Impact Awards competition, with the deadline for nominations falling on March 6, 2018.

Every year, SSHRC invites eligible institutions to nominate their best and brightest researchers and students for an Impact Award. The awards recognize outstanding achievements in research, research training, knowledge mobilization and outreach activities funded partially or completely by SSHRC.

In response to feedback provided by program stakeholders during the evaluation of the Impact Awards funding opportunity, page limits for the following sections of the nomination package have been reduced:

  • Rationale for the Nomination: two pages maximum instead of four;
  • Information Supporting the Nomination Rationale:
  • Gold Medal: six pages maximum instead of ten;
  • Insight, Connexion and Partnership: three pages instead of four;
  • Talent: the page limit remains the same at two pages maximum.

Information regarding previous Impact Awards winners is available on our website.

For further information, please contact Geneviève Truchon, Program Officer in the Research Training Portfolio (genevieve.truchon@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca).
