Trent research fellowships
The SSHRC-funded Trent research fellowships relieves faculty members from some teaching responsibilities so that they can concentrate on finishing research projects. The SSHRC Committee on Research will award one fellowship for the 1998-99 academic year equal to one course stipend and may supplement it with a research grant of up to $2,000. Applications from full-time, tenure-stream SSHRC faculty are invited by Jan. 7.
