External Awards
Tri-Agency Grants
Many funding agencies exist. In Canada the benchmark index upon which a University research enterprise is measured is the amount of external funding secured by faculty researchers, particularly research funding that is sponsored by the Tri-Agencies, which refers to:
- Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada (SSHRC)
- Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and
- Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR)
