The Office of the VPRI uses an online application process for its internal research competitions.
The streamlined online platform, UBC Research + Innovation Apply, is easy to use, eliminates fillable PDF application forms, and allows research teams to develop applications collaboratively and save draft versions before submission. To apply for VPRI’s internal research competitions:
- Applicants simply log in through UBC Research + Innovation Apply using their Campus Wide Login (CWL).
- Select the competition they wish to apply for and follow the simple instructions.
- Applications can be saved at any point and completed at a later date before final submission and downloaded as a PDF at any time for review.
- Lead principal investigators must initiate and submit the application, and can invite others to contribute.
- Co-applicants that are external to UBC should request short-term guest access by contacting Stacey Herzer, Internal Research Competitions Manager.
- After an application has been submitted, confirmation of receipt is sent to the applicant via email. The application is now ready for peer review.
For additional support regarding UBC Research + Innovation Apply, please contact Stacey Herzer, Manager, Internal Research Competitions.
