Faculty members and librarians are eligible for internal funding available through the Senate Research Committee.
Senate Research Committee
The purpose of the Senate Research Committee (SRC) is to support, encourage, and develop research within the Bishop’s University academic community. One particular task of the SRC is to hold open and objectively adjudicated competitions for the allocation of available funds. These funds are supplied mainly by the Bishop’s Foundation, with some support from SSHRC. The SRC interacts with the Vice-Principal's Office in matters relating to the development of research. The SRC is composed of one representative from each division and school, one dean, one librarian and the Director of Research Services. A Publications Subcommittee is composed of two SRC members plus the dean.
