Aid to Scholarly Journals

Through this program, SSHRC contributes to the broad dissemination and impact of original research results in social science and humanities scholarship via Canadian scholarly journals. The program will also assist journals as they seek to take advantage of advances in communication technologies. Funds will be awarded to help defray the costs of publishing scholarly articles, to assist with distribution costs, and to support journal organizations in their transitions to digital media.

Value: Up to $30,000 per year over three years.

For further information and the application form, please see the program description on the SSHRC website.

IMPORTANT! For both opportunities, please ensure your application is eligible before you apply:

Eligibility of subject matter

Please ensure that your research is eligible for consideration by SSHRC. SSHRC will reject proposals they deem not to fall within their mandate. Their guidelines on selecting an appropriate funding agency are at http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/apply-demande/background-renseignements/selecting_agency-choisir_organisme_subventionnaire-eng.aspx. This is particularly relevant for researchers working in fields related to health and psychology. If you are in any doubt about the eligibility of your work for consideration by SSHRC, please contact the appropriate SSHRC program officer.

--------
Please review the relevant information on the SSHRC and Research Services websites. Research Services will not be reviewing the content of your proposals; if you have questions about either program, please contact us as early as possible before the internal deadline dates.

Thank you,
Sarah
