Governance

SSHRC is governed by a 22-member Council appointed by government to represent the interests of the academic, public and private sectors. Six Council committees chart the direction of SSHRC and ensure that our grants and fellowships programs meet the needs of Canadians.

Selection committees, made up of university-based researchers with some non-academic members, adjudicate all SSHRC applications. This rigorous and independent peer review process ensures that only the best research projects are recommended for funding.
