Let me email you the PDFs, please!
- Until they are formally published through University Affairs, please treat these documents as if they are embargoed. I published my summary of the NFRF Peer Reviewers’ Perspective doc in my January 2025 piece for my column. My summaries and the PDFs for SSHRC, CIHR, and NSERC will be published in my column in May, June, and July respectively.
- Because I’m hoping to update these documents when I’ve done more interviews, I’ve asked for your email address. This approach means that I can email you with updated or new documents when they are available. Because I want to keep these docs up-to-date, I ask you to not circulate the PDFs at all; instead, please direct your colleagues and researchers to my column, where I’ll publish the URL that folks can use to get an email with the doc they’re interested in.
References & Resources:
- The column that I write for University Affairs is called “Ask Dr. Editor.”
- Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Post-Secondary Research System is a report published by the Council of Canadian Academies in October 2024 (and it’s the source of Table 5.1, “EDI considerations in select federal grant programs”)
- I was fortunate to be able to receive funding to hire three UBC graduate student interns to support this project: Andrea Kampen, Olivia Brophy, and Athena Pallas. I hired these students with the support of the UBC Arts Amplifier. If your institution has funding to provide graduate trainees with internships, I’d love to hire them to continue to develop this project.
- I would love to publish about novel approaches to student training or knowledge mobilization, as I did in May 2024 in my piece “Helping undergrads see the ‘flip side’ of research.” If you know a researcher who has taken an original, meaningful approach to either of these topics, please consider sharing their name with me using the contact me form on my website.
- The list of questions that I sent to interviewees can be found on this google doc. Because I had so many questions, I wasn’t able to get through the whole list with each interviewee.
- If you’d be willing to help me to recruit additional interviewees by asking former Tri-Agency peer reviewers at your institution if they’d be willing to be interviewed, I’d be very grateful. You can either contact me to pass along their contact info or send them my calendar to choose an interview timeslot. (I’d be exceptionally grateful for your help in recruiting additional interviewees!)
- In May & June 2025, I’m teaching an eight-week course called “Becoming a Better Editor of Your Own Work”
- I’m available to support institutions and individual researchers with research grant applications and to support individual researchers with promotion and tenure dossiers. Please contact me if you’re interested in hiring me to support your researchers.
I hope you find these resources useful. Thank you, I love you, good-bye.
