The Office of Research administers a number of internal
grants for which UNBC researchers are eligible to apply. Each grant competition has its own
application form and set of guidelines.
Undergraduate
Research Awards
The
Undergraduate Research Experience program provides opportunities for UNBC’s
undergraduates to be involved in research and scholarly activities. Faculty
members apply with undergraduate students for a project to be completed during
either the Fall or Winter semester.
The goal of the Foundation Partnering Fund is to support
research and educational programs, following objectives specified in the competition application form. Initiatives should involve
collaboration among university entities and public, non-profit and/or professional
organizations. Funding is available to faculty and graduate students, the latter with the agreement of their supervisor.
UNBC travel grants are available for national or
international conference travel by eligible faculty members who are presenting
a paper or poster. There are three rounds of competition per year. Retroactive applications are accepted but only under exceptional circumstances. Please consult the travel grant guidelines for more information on this competition.
UNBC publication grants are intended to enable UNBC faculty to disseminate the results of their scholarly endeavors. Please consult the competition guidelines for eligible expenses.
Deadlines: January 31, April 30, August 31, November 30
Research seed grants are intended to act as a “springboard”
to assist faculty in obtaining external funding for their research. Seed grants are distinct from start-up funding, which is made available to new faculty and negotiated with Chairs/Deans as a part of the appointment process.
