Twenty-two Trent researchers will share $58,800 to carry out modest projects next year.

The internal Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (sshrc) committee on research has awarded $28,600 to 11 researchers in the spring competition for institutional grant money.

And Trent's natural sciences research committee has awarded $30,200 to 11 projects in its spring competition for funds. (Trent funds the latter since the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council cancelled its institutional support program.)
