Supporting research agreements for UBC researchers at the Okanagan campus
UBC researchers at the Okanagan campus engage in a broad range of externally funded research with collaborators from industry, government, non-profit organizations, and other academic institutions. These research activities contribute to real-world impact in areas such as health, sustainability, and economic development.
Our sponsored research team provides expert guidance and administrative support to help ensure that these research agreements proceed efficiently and effectively.
We assist UBC Okanagan researchers by:
- Structuring and negotiating research agreements with external sponsors and collaborators
- Facilitating research that involves proprietary data, materials, or confidential information from external sources
- Managing the administrative and compliance aspects of sponsored research agreements so researchers can remain focused on advancing their work
Our service goal is to complete most collaborative research agreements within approximately three months from initial request, and to respond to inquiries within two business days.
