2016 Ignite and RAD Award Recipients

In May of 2016, three Ignite grants and three Research Across Departments and Schools (RADS) grants were awarded to 11 faculty members from three different schools.

The Ignite Award program was established by the VPR’s office to help kick-start a faculty member’s research ideas with the goal of turning the idea into a publication or an external grant. Available to full-time faculty, Ignite grants are awarded twice a year, for an amount up to $30,000. The next application deadline is September 30, 2016.

The RADS program aims to support interdisciplinary research projects between faculty in different disciplines, departments, and schools across BC. The VPR will support five projects annually for up to $50,000. The next application deadline is December 2, 2016.
