Grad Info Night Poster

The Humanities Research Institute announces the 2015-16 Humanities Research
Fellowships to faculty members at the University of Regina and federated
colleges. Full-time continuing faculty are eligible to apply.

The HRI supports research in traditional humanities disciplines as well as in
philosophical, historical, and ethical, contexts across academic disciplines.
The humanities are not conceived as a specific group of subject areas but
include all forms of study that examine the human condition. Humanities
researchers are engaged in questions that address human thought, experience,
and creativity.

Fellows will be expected to conduct research, be active participants in the HRI
community, present their research at an HRI-organized event, and organize an
activity or series of activities as part of the HRI’s programming (e.g., a
lecture, seminar series, or similar).

Up to three $4,000 research awards will be granted for the period July 1, 2015-June
30, 2016. Additional

funds, up to a maximum of $1,000, will be provided to fellowship holders to
assist with the organization of the activity/activities. This activity need not
be directly linked to the proposed research (e.g., the activity could be an

invited lecturer who discusses interpretive dance and the proposed research is
on developing theatrical lighting theories).

Application Criteria

-Specific research aims, activities, and outcomes that can be achieved during
tenure of the award should be identified. These may be linked to longer-term
research projects: the relationship between the one-year award and the larger
project should be made clear.

-A detailed budget is required. Expenses supported are those typically
associated with the conduct of research. Ineligible expenses include:
equipment; travel for the purposes of dissemination (e.g., to present at
conferences) or to attend conferences and academic meetings; and
publication-related costs.

-For projects in non-traditional humanities disciplines, the relationship to
the humanities must be clearly articulated.

-The proposed activity (lecture, seminar series, or similar) must be outlined,
including an estimated budget. Other

sources of funding (department, faculty, or other source) above the $1,000
provided by the HRI should be detailed.

Formal Application Process

Applications must be combined into a single file and be provided in PDF format
and must include:

1. a curriculum vitae;

2. a detailed statement of the research proposal. Maximum two pages;

3. a descriptive title and abstract of 75 words;

4. a budget, with justification where necessary. Maximum one page; and

5. a description and budget for the activity/activities (lecture, seminar
series, etc.). Maximum one page.

Incomplete applications will not be considered.

To be submitted to the HRI at humanities.research@uregina.ca.

Due Date: May 1, 2015

Term of Fellowship

The term of the fellowship will normally be one year. The fellowship will
commence July 1, 2015.

SHHRC has recently launched its third annual Storytellers contest, challenging postsecondary students to show Canadians how social sciences and humanities research affects our lives, our world and our future prosperity.
The contest is open to all students, graduate and undergraduate, enrolled at Canadian postsecondary institutions. Their task is to tell the story, in 3 minutes or 300 words, of a SSHRC-funded research project—their own or a professor’s—taking place at their institution. We will select 25 finalists to receive a $3000 cash prize and specialized training in research communications.

We encourage you to spread the word to students, as well as to faculty who may wish to encourage a student to profile their SSHRC-funded research.

For details on this year’s Storytellers challenge, please follow us on Twitter, watch the #SSHRCStorytellers hashtag, and visit the SSHRC website

Don’t hesitate to be in touch with should you have any questions. Please note that participant questions should be addressed to Storytellers@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca.

To: Principal Applicants, Department Heads, Associate Deans Research, Research Services
Good morning,
We are writing to inform you that due to the exceptional number of applications SHRF received for the Collaborative Innovation Development Grants, we will be delaying funding decisions scheduled for December 15, 2014 to February 6, 2015. The delay ensures we achieve the same expert and rigorous peer review process for this pilot program as our health research community expects for all of SHRF’s established funding programs. The delay also means that the funding start dates will be changed to February 1 or March 1, 2015. The date changes also take the usual scheduled breaks over Christmas into account.
As you are aware, the Collaborative Innovative Development Grant is a pilot program for SHRF and so we are learning as you respond. We are excited and encouraged by your feedback, interest and engagement and we will continue to adapt and evolve accordingly. An evaluation of this pilot program will take place in the spring.
We apologize for any inconvenience this delay may cause. Please share this information with your team members and any others concerned.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Karen Glazebrook
Director of Funding Programs
