The five annual SSHRC Impact Awards (Gold Medal, Talent Award, Insight Award, Connection Award, Partnership Award) recognize the highest achievements in social sciences and humanities research, knowledge mobilization, and scholarship supported by SSHRC. The SSHRC Talent Award recognizes outstanding achievement by an individual who, at the nomination deadline, holds a SSHRC doctoral or postdoctoral fellowship or scholarship (including, but not limited to, a CGRS, or Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship). In addition, a nominee must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada at the time of nomination, be an active social sciences and humanities researcher or student and hold SSHRC funding pertinent to the impact award category.
