Office of Research
The CSSH Office of Research drives institutional research strategy and college-relevant initiatives, including multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary activity, for the College of Social Sciences and Humanities. We work in tandem with the Research Partner Network, which provides the first point-of-contact for individual faculty members. There is also a SSHRC listserv open to faculty members to opt-in and receive emails about grant opportunities etc. Each Faculty within the College also has a Vice-Dean or Associate Dean Research, who remains a key partner and key contact for faculty members within that Faculty.
