Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) is a government agency that supports research in areas related to human behavior, society, culture, and history. Its goal is to fund projects that deepen understanding of societal issues, improve public knowledge, and inform policy decisions. SSHRC provides grants to scholars, universities, and organizations to conduct research, fostering innovation and critical thinking across social sciences and humanities disciplines. By doing so, it helps strengthen Canada’s social fabric and ensures that insights gained from research benefit society at large.
