Michael Smith Labs, room 102.
The Office of the Vice-President, Research & Innovation, and SPARC office are pleased to host Tim Wilson, Executive Director, Research Grants & Partnerships Division, SSHRC, for a campus visit.
Over its 35-year history, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) has focused on building Canada’s capacity to undertake excellent research—and, as a result, has funded Canada’s top researchers and research trainees. Because “excellence” is an ever-evolving target, its pursuit is both an enduring commitment and a priority. As Executive Director of Research Grants and Partnerships at SSHRC, Tim Wilson is responsible for overseeing all of the Agency’s Grant programs. He will talk about SSHRC funded programs and future plans.
