Internal Funding Opportunities
Introduction
The Office of Research administers a number of internal grants for which UNBC researchers are eligible to apply: conference travel grants, publication grants, research seed grants and awards BC Real Estate Foundation Partnering Fund awards. Each grant competition has its own application form and set of guidelines.
 
Conference Travel Grants
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, for which the application deadlines are March 15, September 15 and December 15. Please consult the travel grant guidelines for more information on this competition, or access the form to apply.
 
If you are submitting a retroactive application – for example, if you intend to travel before the date of the next travel competition – you must contact the Office of Research prior to traveling and let us know, in writing, that you intend to submit a retroactive application to the next competition. (By “retroactive” we mean you will already have traveled before the date of the next travel grant competition.)

There is one annual competition for seed grants Please consult the competition guidelines for more information and to confirm eligibility or to access the form to apply.
