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.
