FUNDVANTAGE The Research Office has purchased a one year subscription to FundVantage. FundVantage helps us be more successful in our effort to find the right funding opportunities for you. FundVantage provides current intelligence on numerous funding programs. It tracks nearly four hundred Canadian funding agencies. We can target unpublicized funding programs and get insights such as success rates where available. If you are interested in having the Research Office perform a search for you, please let us know.

Research Assistant Awards The Senate Research Committee recently passed a motion indicating that the additional $5K received through the recent Collective Agreement negotiations would be meted out in $500.00 awards to any full-time faculty with Research Assistant needs that fall outside of the usual JOBS guidelines. These needs would be for highly specific tasks within very discrete timeframes: for example, 1) if faculty require an RA for a short period of time (a month, for example) or 2 hours per week over a long period, or 2) at a graduate level of expertise. The money was granted on a first come, first served basis and is detailed below. The competition is now closed.
