This program will support research* projects that demonstrate new collaborations, directions, and technological developments that can be used to generate preliminary data for future research grant competitions to external funding agencies.
This program is intended to strengthen and foster new collaborations within the DMCBH community and across UBC.
*In this context, “research” refers to any activities under Section 4.03: Scholarly Activity under the Agreement on Conditions of Appointment; that is, all fields of academic endeavor are considered.
This program will fund up to a maximum of five (5) one-year term awards @ $30,000.**
The term for each award will be July 1 – June 30.
** Funding must be spent in a manner consistent with the application that was submitted and funded, although variations from budget lines that were originally submitted are permitted so long as the use of funding is still consistent with the overall project.

It is primarily designed to provide matching support and cover small shortfalls for equipment grants (e.g. CFI, NSERC, RTI), but can also be used for the purchase of equipment in conjunction with other DMCBH labs. The equipment does not have to be located in DMCBH/Koerner labs but must benefit DMCBH members.
This program will support 5-6 applications per year, up to a maximum of $10,000/application.
Provide the following information in your application, which should be a maximum of 2 pages:
