The Government of Canada has announced the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Grant and Insight Development Grant 2024 recipients, and we're thrilled to see many Arts researchers among them representing a breadth of disciplines.
Research that has social impact is a priority in the Arts Strategic Plan, and the funded projects exemplify the ways in Arts scholarship can positively benefit society by contributing multidisciplinary solutions for complex challenges identified in Waterloo's Global Futures framework.
According to the government's announcement, the recipients were selected for "the excellence of their research proposals, and their potential to make significant contributions to their respective fields." Insight Development Grants support research in its initial stages - developing new research questions and experimenting with new research methods, theoretical approaches or ideas. Insight Grants offer stable support for long-term research initiatives that help advance knowledge. We look forward to seeing the impacts of these projects in the coming years. Congratulations to the recipients!
