The Royal Society of Canada will soon open nominations for the 2027 cohort of RSC Members - New Fellows and Members of the RSC College and RSC Awards. We encourage you to begin considering nominations for your colleagues, especially if you are a current Fellow or College Member.
The expected deadline is December 14, 2026 at 2 pm Pacific for Fellows, College Members, and Award nominations.
ORPA support will be available for all nominations of UBC research faculty members, regardless of nominator. ORPA will also coordinate institutional nominations under the President – we aim to prioritize departments or units that do not have access to Fellows or College members as nominators.
In order to facilitate planning and support, we are requesting notice of planned nominations (including requests for institutional nomination and renomination).
Please submit notice of planned nominations, or request institutional nomination, by Monday, September 21 here:
