SPARC Exploration Grant Support Services

All SPARC services are provided on a first-come, first-served basis for UBC-led applications and depend on capacity. We encourage faculty, especially new ones, to get in touch early to benefit from our services. 

We ask that faculty with access to multiple strategic grant development service providers, such as Faculty-based Grant Facilitators and the BCCHR's Research & Technology Development Office, select only one to work with so that we can collectively support as many UBC researchers as possible.
