SSHRC Talent Award

The SSHRC Talent Award recognizes outstanding achievement by an individual who, on April 1, 2023, holds a SSHRC doctoral or postdoctoral fellowship or scholarship. The Talent Award ($50,000 value) is given to an individual who maintains academic excellence, has a talent for research and knowledge mobilization, and has demonstrated clear potential to be a future leader within and/or outside the academic sector.

The Talent Award may be taken up as a fellowship to fund the recipient’s doctoral or postdoctoral research over a one-year period, or may be used, within one year of receiving the award, as a grant to support research, knowledge mobilization or other research-related activities. At least 10 per cent of the award funds must be used to promote the recipient’s research achievements.

Eligibility: A nominee must be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada at the time of nomination, must be an active social sciences and humanities researcher or student, and must hold a SSHRC doctoral or postdoctoral fellowship or scholarship on April 1, 2023.

Application Deadline: Feb 3, 2023.

Nomination Deadline: 24 February 2023 at 4:00 pm PT.  Graduate programs should set an internal application deadine for their applicants several weeks before this date to select nominees for which they will prepare the nomination package.

Note to graduate programs: UBC can nominate one applicant to the national stage of the competition.  One Talent Award is awarded annually by SSHRC from the nominations submitted by Canadian universities.  Departments should therefore nominate applicants who they believe will be competitive with the top nominees Canada-wide.

For nomination procedures, please consult the G+PS website (https://www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/sshrc-talent-award).
