More About Quebec Research Fund – Society and Culture (FRQSC).
The government of Quebec founded the non-profit Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) with the goal of advancing research in the social and human sciences, as well as in the sectors of education, management, the arts, and literature.
It is one of the three Fonds de recherche du Québec and one of the primary funding sources for university research in Quebec, together with the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS). It reports to the Ministry of Research, Science, and Higher Education (MESRS).
The Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology Act, which supersedes the Ministry of Economic Development, Innovation and Exportation Act, established the FRQSC. A board of directors chosen by the Quebec government oversees the FRQSC.
There are no more than 15 people involved in this. In addition to the Joint Committee on Responsible Conduct in Research and the Intersectoral Student Committee, which directly reports to the Chief Scientist, the Board of Directors is supported by four statutory committees: the Committee on Ethics and Scientific Integrity, the Governance Committee, the Programs Committee, and the Audit Committee.
