The opposite of partnership grants. And unless SSHRC changes how the reviewers comment on PGs requiring them to elaborate EDI strategies, most PGs will lose American partners.
And that's ok--I'd rather emphasize how we build diverse, inclusive networks and lose a few American partners.

For those Canadian researchers following the "all your (data)base are belong to us" moves of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science & Research:
My PhD is SSHRC-funded, so I asked SSHRC directly about disclosure of info.
So far, they have only provided the committee w/ public information.

SSHRC put a lot of federal money into developing my career and the careers of many people like me.
It seems ridiculous that a federal government would not think about how they are likely throwing those investments down the drain by making it even harder for PhDs to find tenure-track jobs.

As the data shows, the claim that federal agencies favor “left-wing,” “progressive,” or “woke” research projects is but a myth circulated by misinformed conservatives. If anything, SSHRC actually needs to fund more projects about social inequalities and injustice.

Similarly, almost 70% of the 2.1 billion paid through the eight SSHRC programs went to projects that were NOT about any form of social inequality or injustice.

We extracted public data on 35,828 research projects funded by eight SSHRC programs to examine the govt's claim. Our original analysis is here, but eventually we took this a step further and looked at each of the topics.

The Canadian Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research is launching a US-style attack on EDI in Tri-Council funding.
As part of this attack, they are demanding disclosure of confidential demographic info + reviewer comments of all Canadian researchers who have applied b/w 2000-2025.
