The Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) recently unveiled the recipients of its fall 2019 round of聽Partnership Grants, including two 平特五不中-led projects, totalling $5 million. SSHRC also unveiled the recipients of the round鈥檚聽Partnership Development Grants聽and聽Postdoctoral Fellowships, in which 18 平特五不中 applicants received over $2 million in funding.
The grants offer a funding boost to social sciences and humanities researchers at 平特五不中 to investigate a wide range of topics, including mapping Montreal鈥檚 LGBT+ activist cultures, and exploring mechanisms of institutional change in arctic science.
Of the SSHRC-funded projects announced Canada-wide, 60 平特五不中 researchers will participate, as either principal investigators, collaborators, or co-applicants.
Partnership Grant recipients
The recipient of one of 平特五不中鈥檚 two $2.5 million Partnership Grants is聽Am茅lie Quesnel-Vall茅e, Professor in the Departments of Sociology and of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health. As a Canada Research Chair in Policies and Health Inequalities, Prof. Quesnel-Vall茅e鈥檚 research examines the contribution of social policies to the development of social inequalities in health over the course of an individual鈥檚 lifespan. With SSHRC鈥檚 support, she will create a Consortium on Analytics for Data-Driven Decision-Making (CAnD3) to collaboratively develop and deliver an innovative training program for the next generation of population researchers. This 鈥淧opulation Analytics in an Aging Society Training Program鈥� aims to enhance the skills of data-to-decision-making population researchers to ensure that they can provide accurate and impactful insights on urgent social, economic, and health issues for aging societies.
Delphine Collin-V茅zina, Associate Professor at the School of Social Work, also received $2.5 million in funding from a Partnership Grant. Prof. Collin-V茅zina conducts collaborative research with organizations that provide services to children and youth living in vulnerable contexts. SSHRC鈥檚 funding will support her efforts to organize a Canadian Consortium on Child Trauma and Trauma-informed Care. The Consortium aims to improve the quality of life and development of children and youth by incorporating appropriate care practices necessary for those who have experienced trauma. The Consortium will ensure that trauma-informed care policies, procedures, and practices are adopted across provincial, linguistic, and service sectors to empower families, communities, and organizations impacted by this devastating issue.
Partnership Development Grant recipients
Among 平特五不中鈥檚 four Partnership Development Grant recipients is聽Christian Ehret, Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education, who received almost $200,000 in funding for his project,聽Designing equitable urban learning ecologies for prosocial development with digital media. Prof. Ehret鈥檚 project will establish a youth-to-youth mentoring structure for a digital media and learning program, which will lead to certifiable outcomes for socially marginalized youth.
