In a recent Ask Dr Editor column for University Affairs, Dr Letitia Henville shares insights from interviews with 49 former SSHRC Insight and Insight Development Grant peer reviewers on the unwritten expectations that SSHRC applicants should understand to ensure their projects are competitive. For example, Henville notes that peer reviewers do assess equity, diversity, and inclusion, even though EDI is not explicitly listed in the evaluation criteria. In addition, the author underscores three key strategies to support application success: preparing precise budgets, choosing the right committee, and crafting distinctive training and knowledge mobilization plans.
