Award Details
The RSC Eric Jackman Prize celebrates path-breaking and sustained scientific contributions to preventing harm, strengthening resilience, or otherwise benefiting humankind through research in one or more behavioural and social science fields.
Open to both individual Canadian researchers (or permanent residents of Canada) and established research teams led by a Canadian (or permanent resident of Canada), the RSC Eric Jackman Prize will be offered annually if there is a suitable candidate. The Prize includes a cash award of $10,000 CAD.
Public-facing activities featuring the winner of the Prize will promote public awareness of the role of social sciences research in creating a better society and also link the research to key elements of public policy.
