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 2025:
- EOI and full nominations should now be submitted via this application portal
- Due to the usual deadline falling on a weekend this year, full nominations are due by November 17th, 11:59pm P.T.
These awards have two nomination stages:
- Expression of Intent (EOI) due September 15*, 11:59 pm P.T. 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 November 15*, 11:59 pm P.T. All required components must be submitted through the application portal, and Killam Faculty Research Fellowship referee letters must be received by ORPA.

* If the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, submissions are due by 11:59pm P.T. on the following business day.
