Office of Research

inco

Memorial has an Office of Research at the St. John's campus and another at Grenfell College in Corner Brook, both of which are staffed by people who know the intricacies of research funding and policy.

Last year, researchers at Memorial brought in more than $80 million in external funding for their research efforts.

The Office acts as a liaison between the faculty and the various funding organizations, making the process work as smoothly as possible. Those duties include:

  • Reviewing research proposals and applications to ensure that they adhere to both university and agency policies.
  • Approving proposals, applications, funding agreements and research contracts on behalf of the university.
  • Negotiating and administering university research contracts.

The Office also keeps track of deadlines and application policies for some 500 funding programs from more than 150 agencies and organizations.
