School Research Committees

School Research Committees are the decision making body for research projects or initiatives that require resources to be allocated by the respective school. The Institute Research Committee is the decision making body for research projects or initiatives that require resources to be allocated at the Institute Level.

School Research Committees bring together faculty and staff from different disciplines and departments to identify common and emerging areas of research expertise and interest. These committees cultivate interdisciplinary research themes where faculty and students from across the institute work together on research programs and projects.

School Research Committees also play a vital role in facilitating and supporting the research activities of the various schools. They review all school-based research undertaken by faculty, staff and students for appropriateness, quality standards and fit with school and Institutional priorities.

Guidelines

The role of School Research Committees and the Institute Research Committee are:

  • to function as the channel for communications among research participants,
  • to provide transparent access to research funding and resources that require decisions at the School or Institute level,
  • to provide feedback and direction for research initiatives and policies at BCIT.

The full responsibilities of the Committee are found in the Committee Guidelines [PDF].
