The University of Guelph-Humber celebrates its 10^th anniversary in 2012.

In this first decade, university faculty and students have collaborated in the classroom and outside of it. This includes research.

University of Guelph-Humber faculty members from all seven academic programs lead on timely, original research projects. They’re publishing widely, contributing to important conversations and developments in Canada and internationally. Consider the following examples from Psychology and Kinesiology.

Students are employed as research assistants, gaining vital experience in their professions and industries, in ongoing projects as well as those supported by the University of Guelph-Humber’s Research Grant Fund.

This fund helps foster inquiry across disciplines. In 2010, for the first time, the university’s Research Funding Committee considered its first round of proposals. Eleven (11) projects were approved. In late 2011, the second round of applications was received. Six new projects were approved.

Faculty and staff collaborate on the committee, which is headed by Dr. George Bragues, Assistant Vice-Provost and Program Head, Business. Dr. Bragues and his colleagues will receive submissions for the third round next month. The application deadline is February 29, 2012.

The Research Grant Fund Committee will meet in mid-March to evaluate proposals. Approvals will be decided by early to mid-April.
