The 2026 SSHRC Impact Awards Competition will open in late 2025. UBC is limited to one nomination per award, so the Office of the VP Research & Innovation is seeking nominations and will coordinate an internal selection process for the Gold Medal, Insight, Connection and Partnership Awards.
Self-nominations are not permitted. To nominate a colleague for internal selection, please complete the SSHRC Impact Awards Selection Form by Monday, November 17, 11:59pm P.T.
Departments, divisions, institutes, schools, and faculties are encouraged to embed equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in their nomination strategies.
The VPRI Office will submit the final nomination to SSHRC before the April 1, 2026, deadline.
