The University of Prince Edward Island competes every year for millions of dollars in research funding from various granting agencies.
The research activities at UPEI require the service and support of university infrastructure. Canada’s tri-council of federal granting agencies, consisting of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), have recognized the importance of this infrastructure and the potential financial burden it represents to universities. In response, the tri-council has created the Research Support Fund.
The Research Support Fund has been instrumental in advancing strategic research initiatives at UPEI. Although the allocation only partially covers the cost of maintaining and growing the research enterprise, UPEI develops annual performance objectives, indicators, and target outcomes.
For highlights of some of the benefits, see UPEI's Research Support Fund page.
The campus community is invited to join Mr. Chris Halyk, President, Janssen Inc.; Dr. Alaa Abd-El-Aziz, President and Vice-Chancellor; Dr. Kathy Gottschall-Pass, Interim Vice-President Academic and Research; and Dr. William Montelpare, Professor and Margaret and Wallace McCain Chair in Human Development and Health, as they announce the Janssen - Prince Edward Island Health Innovation Partnership on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 at 1:00 pm in Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall. This collaboration will focus on Real World Evidence projects that involve data access/generation aimed at understanding and improving the PEI health system and patient outcomes. All are welcome.
