UBC doctoral researchers receive SSHRC Fellowships

The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, announced that the Government of Canada is investing $26 million over the next four years to support 540 doctoral researchers across Canada through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council’s (SSHRC) Doctoral Fellowships competition.

This funding will allow graduate students to pursue research in areas of critical social importance, such as the effects of climate change; the development of sustainable food systems; Indigenous languages; law and environmental revitalization; the impacts of chronic and recreational cannabis use; and psychological resilience from past traumas.

The  SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships are offered through one annual, national competition and are valued at $20,000 per year.
