SSHRC is the Canadian federal funding agency that supports and promotes research and training in the humanities and social sciences fields.

It is the mandate of SSHRC to enable research excellence and facilitate knowledge-sharing and collaborations between academic disciplines, universities and all sectors of Canadian society.

SPARC provides strategic support services and resources for UBC-led applications for a range of SSHRC programs, including program outreach, project and proposal development and proposal review. For more details on SPARC support for UBC faculty researchers, visit the program pages.
