The awards total over $167,000 and will be used to build knowledge and understanding about people, societies and the world.
Dr. Stephanie Gilbert was awarded $60,223 for her work Women in leadership: The influence of stereotype threat and motivation for transformational leadership on leadership aspirations and emergence; Dr. Kathy Snow was awarded $69,713 for her work Ajurnaqtut Aniguinnasuut: Turning Grief into Empowerment; and Dr. Leslie Wardley was awarded $38,274 for her work Assessment of efficiency in Ontario universities using data envelopment analysis.
“We’re thrilled that three of our researchers are being recognized for their very important work,” says Tanya Brann-Barrett, Associate Vice-President, Academic & Research, Research and Graduate Studies. “The Insight Development Grant speaks to the innovative research happening here and the quality of the researchers that we have working within our community and educating our students.”
