The UBC Collaborative Research Mobility Awards (UBC CRMA) are an excellent way for researchers at UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan to work in collaboration. The funding is designed to:
- initiate new, or strengthen existing research collaborations;
- enable travel to access unique infrastructure/core facilities at each location or to hold research meetings;
- support travel, per diems, and accommodations for UBC researchers
The application is a 600 word proposal that includes:
- identification of researchers involved at UBCV and UBCO, with a brief description of their excellence in the research area(s);
- a description of the purpose for the travel;
- anticipated outcomes of the award (e.g., starting or strengthening a collaboration, accessing infrastructure or core facilities available at the other campus, initiating a collaborative grant proposal, or undertaking a component of a research study); and
- a budget that includes a brief justification and the anticipated start and end date.
Faculty members from all disciplines are eligible to apply if they are eligible to hold research grants.
