Here’s something different.
In 2022-23, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada awarded a total of $16.3M to 182 people in its postdoctoral fellowships program. There were 650 total applicants.
Leaving aside stop words, this word cloud shows the terms most often found in the award titles.
Here, as a service to the academic community, are five titles for post-doctorate fellowship applications, produced by Microsoft’s Copilot AI facility, most likely to be successful, based on the terms in the word cloud:
“Exploring the Role of Women in Contemporary Canadian Politics: A Comparative Study”
“Toward Understanding the Social Context of Digital Healthcare in Canada: An Analysis of Care Models”
“Examining the Intersection of Culture and Mental Health in Indigenous Communities: A Transformative Approach”
“The Effect of Climate Change on Community Participation in Sustainable Development: A Case Study from Columbia”
“Gender, Violence, and Decision Making in Modern Democratic Systems: A Comparative Analysis”
According to the AI, “these titles incorporate the most popular terms and related terms, and address a variety of academic fields. They are likely to be successful given their relevance to current research trends and societal issues. Naturally the success of an application also heavily depends on the quality and novelty of the proposed research, not just the title.”
