In assessing the calibre of faculty, Maclean’s examines their success in securing research grants from each of the three major federal granting agencies. The figures below show the average size and number of peer-adjudicated research grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The size of grants is listed per full-time faculty member; the number of grants is per 100 full-time faculty members. The ranking reflects a weighted average of the two.
