The Steel Structures Education Foundation has awarded 80 research grants since 1995 to full-time members of engineering faculties of Canadian universities. Grants are awarded on subjects judged to be of value in advancing the use of steel in construction and are awarded at the discretion of the SSEF on the merits of the applications received. Each grant is awarded for a one-year period. The total value of grants awarded in 2010 is $94,250 and was announced in June 2010.
The principal researcher of the highest ranked proposal also receives the H.A. Krentz Research Award and a gift of $5,000.
Suggestions for research topics can now be made by completing the SSEF Research Topic Suggestion Form. Please return the completed form to David Mackinnon at dmackinnon@ssef-ffca.ca.
