Housing Research Scholarship Program renewed and expanded

We’re excited to announce the renewal and expansion of the Housing Research Scholarship Program, in partnership with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). The program focuses on housing research capacity building within the National Housing Strategy’s priority areas across various social sciences and humanities disciplines.

This initiative enhances:

• research knowledge creation
• capacity building
• the dissemination of impactful housing-related research in Canada

The Housing Research Scholarship Program continues to support postdoctoral fellowships, but for the first time this year, it will also offer funding support to eligible doctoral and master’s students, if funds allow.

Expanding the impact of housing research training

Since its launch in 2018, the Housing Research Scholarship Program has targeted postdoctoral fellowships. However, for the first time this year, the program is expanding to include Master’s and PhD students. This creates opportunity for graduate students at all levels to benefit from this scholarship program.

Broadening the program eligibility to include all graduate students will help attract master’s students to housing research. It will also support the progress to PhD-level study in this field and strengthen overall housing research capacity in Canada.

Housing research — key to addressing current and future challenges

Research can make a real difference in the housing sector by generating the kinds of data, insight and innovative solutions needed to help Canada address present and future housing challenges.
