Three McMaster researchers have received nearly $75,000 combined from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
The awards come from a special competition through SSHRC’s Partnership Engage Grants program, designed specifically to address COVID-19-related research.
Announced today by the Honourable Navdeep Bains, minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, the COVID-19 awards allow researchers to work together with government, industry and not-for-profit organizations to help provide the data, insight and evidence to guide action in the months and years to come to navigate post-pandemic economic and social recovery for Canadians.
