The Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA) returns following the summer break with a talk featuring University of Lethbridge Vice-President (Research) Dr. Dena McMartin.
What is the status of Federal, Provincial and Private Research Funding at ULethbridge?
A continued focus on strengthening research partnerships and strong performance in federal grant agency support sees the University of Lethbridge among Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities spurred by a second-place ranking amongst all undergraduate universities in the growth of research income as it relates to industry partnerships.
The partnerships forged in recent years highlight the fact that ULethbridge researchers are helping solve important issues facing small and big businesses, industrial partners, agri-food, tech and many other sectors. ULethbridge has long excelled in fundamental research, something that continues to earn strong support from federal granting partners, and more recently has garnered the attention of valuable partners who recognize researchers have answers to issues they need addressed.
The speaker will define the flow of different research funding streams at ULethbridge and argue for the importance of collaboration between post-secondary institutions, governments and businesses.
