Research Services
Providing researchers support for success
Get to know Research Services
Research Services works with the University of Calgary’s research community to advance the research enterprise.
We aim to:
- increase sponsored research revenue,
- reduce financial, repetitional and market risk
- and manage compliance for the university.
Our teams provide specialized services for all stages of the research cycle. Research Services are accountable to the Vice President (Research) and serve faculty-member researchers, faculties, university leadership, and funders.
Every research project is unique
Although there are common goal posts throughout the research cycle, each project may require a slightly different path through them.
Whether you are planning your project, looking for funding, nominating a scholar or translating your findings into tangible impact, Research Services teams are available to help you navigate your project’s unique journey.
Find the support you need
Learn how various Research Services teams can support your project at various stages throughout the research cycle:
Design and Implement
Find support for various milestones in a project through consultation with teams that can offer advice, help to navigate the research ecosystem, guide through knowledge mobilization, and provide relevant resources.
Find and Manage Funding
Once you know the basics of what your project will look like, it’s time to find funding! Research Services has several teams dedicated to identifying, promoting, and submitting funding applications. Teams can also help with student and postdoc opportunities as well as setting up management for awarded funding.
Recognition in Research
Now that the research has been done, all that hard work needs to be recognized. Research Services can help find and promote awards you may be eligible for, support with applications, and coordinate letters of support. Recognition can lead to more research opportunities!
Innovate and Translate
Translating research from data points to meaningful impact requires many players. UCalgary offers many supports both on and off campus, to help find collaborators, investors, accelerators and more. Effective impact can then feed back into new projects.
