Following recent changes to the policies of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) that now allow life sciences researchers to participate in SSHRC funding programs, Schulich Research in partnership with Research Western will hold a hands-on workshop for life sciences researchers who might be interested in exploring whether their research ideas are SSHRC- eligible, and/or how to craft a successful SSHRC grant.
