How to Contribute

Anyone who is enaged in research activities within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences at Memorial University is welcome to submit their projects to the Showcase. New projects can be added via the dashboard. New users will need to create a profile when accessing the dashboard for the first time. Once a profile is created, new projects can be added and edited easily. If you have issues, please email hssresearchgrants@mun.ca with the necessary information for each project. Project information includes:

• Title (no more than 10 words)
• Description (no more than 20 words; this can be phrased as a rhetorical question or hypothesis you’re addressing)
• A Project Abstract (no more than 300 words and avoid using jargon if possible)
• A list of Tags (between 6-10 is good for describing the project specifically such as topic, reseach methods, individuals, places, theorists, etc.)
• A selection of 3-4 Tags from those related to the HSS Research Themes and your discipline
• A list of other HSS-based Co-applicants, Collaborators, and other Principal Investigators involved in the project
• A project website link
• An image representing your project which has little to no text, and preferably does not have a pale or white background. Files can be either in JPEG or PNG format. The maximum file size permitted is 3MB.
• If you desire, a credit for your image
