Leadership Council Terms of Reference
The UNBC Health Research Institute (HRI) Leadership Council is designed to enable UNBC’s experienced and emerging health researchers (faculty, staff and students) from across the University community to join for the purpose of furthering health research and innovation in alignment with the UNBC Strategic Plan.
Leadership Council Co-Leads
UNBC's Health Research Institute Co-Leads act on behalf of the Leadership Council to oversee the activities of the HRI and facilitate the interface between the university, other research institutes and centres, research programs, and individual researchers and external partners, including the Northern Health and Provincial Health Services Authority.
Margot Parkes has kindly agreed to return to support Trina and Sarah as Co-leads for the HRI over the next few months now that she has completed her role as interim Dean FHHS. While she was the Interim Dean, she remained very engaged in HRI initiatives as a Leadership Council member and her return as co-lead is a very welcome commitment to the work of the HRI as we continue advance our efforts towards HRI initiatives and achieving financial stability.
