The VPRI Research Orientation Program outlines the support provided by our portfolio units to UBC researchers and scholars throughout the research lifecycle. This series is aimed primarily at assistant, associate and full professors new to UBC's Vancouver campus and affiliated health research institutes in the last three years.
The Research Orientation Program will provide information about the support available through the VP Research and Innovation portfolio, and will run from September to December 2023.
A dedicated research orientation event for new researchers at UBC’s Okanagan campus is held each year.
