Funding

The lab’s research is generously supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Ontario Provincial Government (through an Early Researcher Award), and numerous community and internal McMaster grants. Funding enables lab members to attend and present research at national and international conferences, McMaster students to be employed as research assistants, and overseas collaborators to visit and conduct research. In addition, the lab has also received assistance from Research & High-Performance Computing Support at McMaster. And since 2013, five of the lab’s students have been granted prestigious Undergraduate Student Research Awards. The DML also gratefully acknowledges the generosity of the Fong Darley family for their financial support.
