Strategic Research Plan

UNBC's Strategic Research Plan reaffirms UNBC’s founding principles through its commitment to four interdisciplinary and interconnected areas of scholarly inquiry: First Nations and Indigenous Peoples, Environment and Natural Resources, Community Development, and Northern, Rural and Environmental Health, which are of critical importance to our location, as well as to Canada and globally. This plan elaborates on the values, vision and mission put forth in UNBC’s University Plan, including fostering research that is internationally recognized for its quality and impact, and for its orientation to the needs of its communities. The plan outlines UNBC’s achievements and commitments to research, the growing infrastructure available to support research, and outlines objectives to address each of the priorities aimed at enhancing research and research culture at UNBC.
