Dr. John H. M. Andrews, former Dean of Education, UBC from 1973-79, and his wife Doris Andrews have generously endowed one award offered to tenure and tenure-track faculty in the Faculty of Education. This award is designed to support educational research and development projects that have an impact on the community and make a contribution to society. The research component must have a direct impact on the community and increase our knowledge and understanding of Canadian education. The development component must be conducted in collaboration with a community educational partner. The award is based on Dr. Andrews’ belief that teachers, in practicing their profession, are called upon to relate, not just to their students, but also to parents, fellow citizens and teachers, school administration, their professional association, staff groups, governmental agencies, as well as the broad range of social and political groups in the community.

The SSHRC Explore Grant, formerly called the HSS Seed Grant, distributes funds from UBC’s annual SSHRC Institutional Grant to maintain or strengthen research capacity and research excellence in the social sciences and humanities. The primary goal of the Explore Grant is to support high-quality Faculty of Education humanities and social sciences research by providing small funds to support early stage research activities that will lead to the development of external research funding applications.

On March 19 UBC President Dr. Santa Ono and VP Research & Innovation Dr. Gail Murphy released a statement on the curtailment of on-site research at UBC and of fieldwork involving human subjects (see message and FAQ: https://research.ubc.ca/covid-19-curtailing-research-activities-ubc-campuses).
While the Faculty’s Office of Research in Education (ORE) is proceeding with most of our internal research funding competitions, the nature of the activities that the International Research Visiting Fellowships typically support (visits, lectures, lab work, etc.) compels us, regrettably, to postpone the competition, likely into the fall.
Details about a new deadline will be announced in the coming weeks.
