Early-stage research across TMU supported by SSHRC Insight Development Grants
Researchers from across Toronto Metropolitan University have received Insight Development Grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
Several Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) researchers have been selected to receive Insight Development Grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) for projects ranging from examining mindfulness and phishing detection to the workplace experiences of transgender and non-binary nurses.
A total of nine projects from across faculties at TMU will be supported by these grants. Insight Development Grants offer funding for research in its initial stages, enabling the development of new research questions, methods and approaches. This grant funding is worth more than $535,000 for TMU researchers.
“Congratulations to all the researchers who have received funding,” said Steven N. Liss, TMU’s vice-president, research and innovation. “By advancing early-stage projects that further our understanding of important societal issues, this support will make research possible that can offer insights benefiting Canadians while also fostering scholarly excellence.”
