By alex smiciklas

Are you trying to organize a meeting with scholars from multiple disciplines who will partner with you for a CFI grant, a SSHRC Partnership Grant, to access some of the Canada First Research Excellence Funds, but you don’t know where to meet? The Peter Wall Institute may have the answer for you: The Institute provides support to UBC faculty in need of a workshop venue to meet and discuss potential collaborative research projects, themes, and research funding proposals involving multiple academic disciplines and faculties.

Objective

Theme Development Workshops often lead to Peter Wall Institute International Research Roundtable applications or provide the opportunity for participants to explore a research question, methods and plan to develop a proposal for other funding programs, such as the Canada First Research Excellence Funds, Canadian Foundation for Innovation funds, or other major collaborative research funding opportunities.
