Today, the��Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, today 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.

“Our government has always believed that the best investments are based on quality data and research. Social sciences and humanities are��helping Canadians��navigate��complex societal issues; informing sound decision-making across government,��business and community sectors; creating jobs; and securing a better future for our country and our kids.��I want to congratulate this year’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Fellowship recipients, and look forward to the transformative work they will do,” said the Minister.

At ��������’s Vancouver campus, 25 doctoral students received a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship. These young researchers are working on subjects that span forestry, education, nursing, and the social sciences and humanities, from Zhaohua Cheng's ��research on greening for cooler cities��to Michael Wilkinson's investigation on the��spiritualist writings of Arthur Conan Doyle, to Elizabeth Straus's work with��young people living with home mechanical ventilation.
