The research world has
changed. Today, researchers are expected not only to conduct
research and train graduate students but also to move knowledge
from research to action and link colleagues and stakeholders
across the country.
To find out how best to support researchers now, and meet
Canadians' need for knowledge, SSHRC is launching a nation-wide
consultation, in partnership with universities, colleges,
scholarly associations and other stakeholders.

transformation.
