Grant Overview

Target Outcomes for Saskatchewan Doctoral Students The Fellowship to Support Doctoral Students Preparing to Embark on Innovative Dissertation Research Projects in Saskatchewan is designed to foster groundbreaking research in the humanities and social sciences. The primary target outcomes of this fellowship program are to support doctoral students who demonstrate the potential to lead their fields in new and innovative directions, and to facilitate the development of dissertation research projects that address pressing issues relevant to Saskatchewan.## Priority Research Areas in Saskatchewan's ContextIn the context of Saskatchewan, the fellowship program prioritizes research areas that are critical to the province's economic, social, and cultural development. Some of these areas include Indigenous studies, given Saskatchewan's significant Indigenous population and the need for research that addresses the historical and contemporary issues affecting these communities. Another priority area is research related to the province's natural resources, such as agriculture, mining, and energy, which are crucial to Saskatchewan's economy. The program also supports research in the humanities, including arts, culture, and history, which are essential to understanding the province's identity and heritage.The Saskatchewan Ministry of Education and the Saskatchewan Research Council are key state agencies that align with the fellowship's objectives. They work together to promote research and innovation in the province. Saskatchewan's unique geographic feature is its vast rural landscape and the presence of several frontier communities, which present distinct challenges and opportunities for research. For instance, researchers may explore issues related to rural development, remote community infrastructure, or the impact of climate change on rural livelihoods. The province's demographic characteristics, such as its relatively small population and high proportion of Indigenous people, also distinguish it from neighboring provinces like Alberta and Manitoba.Moreover, the fellowship program is likely to benefit from the existing research networks and collaborations between Saskatchewan and neighboring states like North Dakota and Montana, as well as other Canadian provinces such as Manitoba and Alberta. These collaborations can facilitate the exchange of ideas, methodologies, and best practices, ultimately enhancing the quality and impact of the research conducted by Saskatchewan-based doctoral students.In terms of specific outcomes, the fellowship program aims to produce high-quality dissertation research that contributes meaningfully to the existing body of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences. The program expects that the research will be characterized by its originality, rigor, and relevance to Saskatchewan's context. The fellowship also seeks to support the development of the next generation of researchers and scholars who will drive innovation and excellence in their respective fields.## Evaluating Success in Saskatchewan's Context The success of the fellowship program will be evaluated based on the quality and impact of the research produced by the awardees. The funder, a Banking Institution, will assess the program's effectiveness in achieving its target outcomes, including the number of high-quality dissertation research projects supported, the relevance of the research to Saskatchewan's needs, and the career trajectories of the awardees. The evaluation will also consider the extent to which the program has contributed to the development of a vibrant research community in Saskatchewan, and the degree to which it has fostered collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the province.Q: What are the primary research areas that the fellowship program prioritizes in Saskatchewan?
