23 OISE faculty members earned a total of $2.6 million in newly awarded Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Standard Research Grants. This represents the best SSHRC Standard Research Grant results for OISE since 2006 and almost doubles the total dollar amount from last year. "This is a wonderful accomplishment and a well-deserved achievement for each," said Dean Julia O'Sullivan.
The newly awarded funding grants provide an average of $125,000 to each faculty member and support three-year programs of research that foster and develop vigorous collaborative and multidisciplinary activities. OISE researchers will carry out research in the areas of:
- curriculum and academic achievement
- teacher education
- higher education
- social justice
- youth
These grants emphasize the development of new theoretical and methodological approaches to education research and provide wonderful training opportunities for OISE’s graduate students and future researchers.
This year’s results mark a success rate of 60%: up 14% from last year. This will drive OISE faculty to compete and succeed in future SSHRC, and other prestigious competitions. The program concludes this year as SSHRC gears up to shape new funding opportunities for the future.
