The Research Security Centre is proud to announce the launch of a new module titled Protecting Knowledge: Research Security in Social Sciences and Humanities.

This eighth module highlights the importance of research security in the social sciences and humanities for analyzing and managing complex security-related situations. It examines key threat areas, including foreign influence, harassment, and the misuse of sensitive research data. The module also illustrates how social science data, when misused, can be employed to shape public opinion, intensify surveillance, or support coercive practices that violate human rights. Through case studies and concrete examples, it helps participants deepen their understanding of the risks inherent to research in the social sciences and humanities.

Date : April 9, 2026
Time: 1p.m.-2:30p.m. (EDT)

It is our pleasure to announce that CIHR will be offering two MS Teams Q&A sessions to trainees, postdoctoral researchers and institution staff regarding award programs that are offered. We will start by providing a quick overview of our programs; however, most of the session will be spent answering participant questions.

We will be using Slido, an interactive tool where participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the session. We also encourage you to submit your questions in advance to Slido, and we will do our best to answer them during the session.

We will send you the meeting link and the link to Slido in the coming weeks to the email address that you use to register. In this email, you will also receive a PDF presentation providing a comprehensive overview of our programs. We encourage you to read the PDF presentation slides before submitting your questions to Slido.

Register now!

If you are interested in participating, we invite you to register for the session of your choice.

You are also encouraged to distribute copies of the attached poster, circulate this email and/or to promote it via your institutional social media to advertise these sessions.
