Understanding the perceptions and experiences of police board members, empowering Indigenous health in treaty territory, exploring Canada's human right to housing, and conceptualizations of insects in Canadian culture are among a range of research projects at Trent University receiving more than $1 million dollars in new federal funding.
“Receiving research and scholarship finding from Canada's national granting programs validates the novel and meaningful direction of the research programs at Trent,” said Dr. Holger Hintelmann, vice president, Research & Innovation at Trent. “Our faculty and students are dedicated investigators and an investment in their work is an investment in outcomes with impact.”
The funding announced in September comes from Canada's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council's (SSHRC) Insight Grants, Insight Development Grants, as well as the SSHRC and National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Graduate Scholarships Programs for master's and doctoral students.
Here is the full list of funding awarded to Trent researchers and their projects:
Insight Grants – supporting research excellence in the social sciences and humanities
SSHRC Insight Development Grants – building knowledge and understanding about people, societies, and the world.
Scholarships and Fellowships (Tri-Agency) help high-achieving undergraduate and early graduate studies students receive high quality training to advance and develop their research skills.
