Launch of UBC PI survey inviting feedback on CIHR research grants and support

May 30, 2025

SPARC is soliciting feedback from UBC faculty researchers about their experiences with CIHR research grants, as well as our support services and resources. Please look for a June 2 email from Christy McTait or use the survey link provided below.

We would greatly appreciate your input through a short survey about your experience with CIHR research grants—particularly those in the Strategic Grants portfolio (e.g., Catalyst, Operating, Team, and other grants such as Planning and Dissemination)—and also with our SPARC services and resources.

Even if you don’t know much about SPARC or haven’t worked with us before, we welcome your input about preferred communication and feedback channels and styles.

Your feedback will be essential in helping to enhance the research grant support provided to the UBC research community, with the goal of improving UBC success in Tri-Agency funding competitions.

Please take a few minutes (5-10 max) to complete the survey here: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5uvlGRnw5ZRx2PY.

The survey will be open until Friday, June 27.

Thank you for your time and valuable insights.
