UBC recognizes individual investigators who demonstrate excellence in research through a suite of seven annual research awards and fellowships that span all disciplines in the sciences, applied sciences, medicine, arts, social sciences, and humanities.
Summary of changes in 2024:
- Emeriti faculty members are allowed to nominate a colleague from their faculty for all awards except KARF and the Killam Faculty Research Fellowships.
These awards have two nomination stages:
- Expression of Intent (EOI) due Monday, September 16, 2024, 11:59 pm. This optional stage assists in planning and EOIs are not evaluated. Nominations can still be submitted if the EOI deadline is missed. Note: EOI not requested for Killam Accelerator Research Fellowships given the required Faculty-led nomination process.
- Full Nomination due Friday, November 15, 2024, 11:59 pm. All required components must be submitted through the nomination form, and Killam Faculty Research Fellowship referee letters must be received by ORPA.
