The Grant Facilitation Network is an informal network of staff and faculty members, distributed throughout the UBC system, who help researchers to develop, review and administer winning research grant proposals.
Get to know your local Grant Facilitator to understand what services they can provide. Grant Facilitation services may be offered by personnel with varying job titles (such as Grant Facilitator, Grant Development Oficer, Research Development Officer, or Research Manager) who have varying responsibilities and expertise, such as accounting or grant writing.
This community stays connected on www.grantfacilitation.ubc.ca, which offers resources to the Grant Facilitation community, including templates, tools, continuing education and networking opportunities.
The Office of Research Services is a central point of liaison for the Grant Facilitation Network, but each faculty has its own administrative processes for securing research funding.
