UBC Science research has global reach and impact—in large part due to our investigators’ and trainees’ commitment to partnerships with NGOs, industry, government and communities worldwide. To help accelerate purpose-driven initiatives, UBC Science offers a range of programs designed to advance grant success, build partnerships, and support early career scientists.
