UBC Sauder faculty awarded over $1.2M in SSHRC and NSERC grants for 2023
The Government of Canada has announced a major investment of more than $960 million for research, which included 12 faculty members of the UBC Sauder School of Business receiving over $1.2 million in grants through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) grant programs.
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Grants
SSHRC Insight Grants support research excellence in the social sciences and humanities. Funding is available to both emerging and established scholars for research initiatives of two to five years. Stable support for long-term research initiatives is central to advancing knowledge. It enables scholars to address complex issues about individuals and societies, and to further our collective understanding.

Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Discovery Grants
NSERC Discovery Grants assist in promoting and maintaining a diversified base of high-quality research capability in the natural sciences and engineering in Canadian universities, fostering research excellence, and providing a stimulating environment for research training. The Discovery Grants program supports ongoing programs of research with long-term goals rather than a single short-term project or collection of projects. These grants recognize the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all research advances. Discovery Grants are considered “grants in aid” of research, as they provide long-term operating funds and can facilitate access to funding from other programs but are not meant to support the full costs of a research program. The Discovery Accelerator Supplements (DAS) program provides substantial and timely additional resources to accelerate progress and maximize the impact of established, superior research programs.
