The prizes are funded by an endowment from the Molson Foundation, and they are administered by the Canada Council for the Arts in cooperation with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The recipients are chosen by a peer assessment committee, which is appointed jointly by the Canada Council and the SSHRC.
Value: approximately $50,000.
Deadline: December 1, 2015.
