These professors have found time-saving tips to enable them to pursue an active research program while at a teaching focused university. Aggie, Garrett, Farhad and Sarah will explain how they use case studies, field schools, and even engage whole classes in their research at VIU. Led by Aggie Weighill, Garrett Stone, Farhad Moghimehfar, Sarah Carruthers

Bettina will highlight key features of SSHRC’s Partnership Engage Program with discussion on SSHRC’s new stream for COVID-19 research.

Researchers are encouraged to work in partnership with government, industry and not-for-profit organizations to provide the data, insight and evidence to examine the impact of the pandemic and the ensuing economic slowdown on individuals, businesses and communities.  Up to $25K over 1 year. Deadlines June 15 & Sept 15

Roisin will highlight key features of NSERC’s Alliance (Partnership) program with insight into their new COVID-19 stream.  This stream supports collaborations between academic researchers and the public, not-for-profit and industry sectors. Partner entities do not need to give matching cash. Applications to the COVID-19 stream do not count towards NSERC’s limits on Alliance application numbers from principal investigators or partners.  The project must support research and analysis activities that address partner organization questions or issue in relation to the pandemic.

Via Zoom Link. This interactive session shows new and returning researchers the ROMEO application portal, shares some tricks that will help you streamline the application process (such as cloning applications to allow researchers to submit to multiple grants at one time), and will have a Q&A session at the end. Led by Leyla Innala.

We would like to invite all faculty with an interest pursuing COVID19 research to a Zoom meeting to share their project ideas in hopes of identifying  synergies and collaborative opportunities. We will answer questions about the special VIURAC COVID 19 Call for Proposals and share a list of other COVID research funding opportunities. Some areas where VIU faculty may be able to respond quickly include but are not limited to:

An information session for Faculty who want to learn more about applying for internal awards/ funding at VIU. Individuals from the other campuses can participate via zoom if you contact Roisin Mulligan in advance.
