INSTRUCTIONS
List up to three Canadian and/or foreign specialists whom SSHRC may ask to assess your proposal. SSHRC will solicit no more than one review from a suggested reviewer. Suggesting fewer reviewers may be advantageous in cases where the number of qualified specialists is small. SSHRC reserves the right not to select a reviewer from the submitted list.
Suggested reviewers cannot be:
- Affiliated with your institution or that of any member of your research team (including co-applicants and collaborators);
- Someone with whom you or any member of your research team has collaborated in the past (e.g., as a co-author or co-editor or as a co-organizer of a conference or workshop);
- Someone with whom you or any member of your team has a personal relationship; or
- A previous thesis supervisor or anyone who has had a similar supervisory or mentoring relationship with you or a member of the research team over the course of doctoral or postdoctoral studies
Complete all mandatory fields (those in bold) and click “Save”. When you save the information, the “Clear entry” button will appear. Click “Clear entry” if you want to remove one of your reviewers, then click “Save” again.
STRATEGIC ADVICE
SSHRC will typically only choose 1-2 of your recommended names, so as much as you are able, make sure the people you list will be available and amenable to conducting a review of your proposal if asked. Keep in mind that SSHRC may also look at your “List of References” module for potential reviewers, and/or will use the keywords you list in your application in their search.
Committees are not bound to external reviewer comments. When writing your grant, keep in mind that the readers with the most “power” over your grants ultimate success are the primary reviewers assigned to it from within your SSHRC adjudication committee.
