The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and Michael Smith Health Research BC have announced $2.7 million in funding for 14 research teams over the next three years through the Research on Research joint initiative.
Four research teams led by UBC researchers and one research project with a UBC collaborator have been awarded a collective $991 thousand through this initiative.
Recipients of this funding will explore a variety of important topics, including urban Indigenous governance in health research, how to advance scientific integrity across disciplines, and how reviewer expertise and engagement impact the peer review of grant applications.
