Research support team

The Faculty of Health's research support team is the only faculty-based research support service of its kind at the University of Victoria.

Our services

The research support team (RST) promotes excellence in Faculty of Health research through pre-grant and post-award support; builds research culture and capacity among health schools and programs; and ensures the faculty has a strong research vision and activities that integrate with the university’s strategic research plan.

Our team acts as a comprehensive service for research-related processes.

We help researchers at all career levels by:

  • assisting with administrative processes
  • providing research account management
  • delivering capacity-building workshops and seminars
  • leading research initiatives
  • guiding researchers in grant application processes

To learn more about our services, please reach out to the Research Support team.
