Orientation Videos for Tri-Agency Funding and SPARC Services
The SPARC team would like to share a set of CWL-protected orientation videos designed to support faculty members who are new to UBC, in their first academic appointment, or unfamiliar with Tri-Agency and related funding opportunities. These short, modular videos are a great resource that introduce key federal funding programs that may align with a range of research activities.
