Research Excellence and Innovation
Supporting high-quality research activities
Turning discoveries into solutions the world needs
Research is how we channel our creativity to advance knowledge and understanding, challenge common assumptions, deliver benefits to our local and global communities, and shape and transform our world. To accomplish that, research activities must be done well, engage the right partners, and involve dreaming big about the kinds of solutions we can deliver.
Research Excellence and Innovation (REI), part of the Office of the VP Research, has a two-part, interrelated mandate:
- Research Excellence: Supporting high-quality research activities, by helping researchers engage in strategic research partnerships, manage risk, and meet relevant ethics, legal and safety standards.
