Research Excellence Clusters Funded in 2023/24

Thirty-nine research excellence clusters led by researchers on the Vancouver campus will be funded through the Research Excellence Clusters initiative in 2023/24. These clusters are inter-departmental networks of researchers at UBC who collectively represent leaders in a particular field of study.

Clusters are recognized as either established or emerging depending on multiple factors relating to their developmental stage and funding requirements.

The 39 Research Excellence Clusters funded in 2023/24 includes 16 clusters in the second year of their current award. Funding is awarded through Grants for Catalyzing Research Clusters (GCRC) competitions.
