I am proud of the work we did with Support Our Science to advocate for increased # and value of awards, as co-founder of SOS along with the amazing @sarahlaframboise.bsky.social & @cdrobich.bsky.social w/a tonne of legwork and leadership by @evoecolab.bsky.social + SO MANY volunteers & supporters

Thanks also to all the MPs from all federal parties to who sponsored petitions, gave students and postdocs a voice in the House of Commons, and recognized that supporting the next generation of researchers is good for everyone.

And massive kudos to Kaitlin Kharas, Executive Director of SOS who took this to the finish line https://bsky.app/profile/scibri.com/post/3lcv4oj2smc26

Question- any information on how these will be distributed across tri-council disciplines? I can only see totals & so far as I know, there has been nothing on how these will shake out across natural, health & social science.

It’s a fantastic increase in both value & numbers. Be proud

Not sure! If I find anything I'll post a link though. And thank you!

Likely similar formula to overall allocation of the TCs; 40:40:20 for NSERC:CIHR:SSHRC.

Maybe? There have been very few details about how harmonization will work in practice…

NSERC and SSHRC got more of the funding to increase award values because they have more awards. CIHR will get more of the $ associated with the 1720 new awards, mostly at Doc level. NSERC and SSHRC will see most of new awards at PDF level bringing them close to CIHR’s existing number.
