Partnering in Research

Partnering in Research Banner

“Partnering in Research” (PiR) is a collaborative venture between the Knowledge Exchange Unit and Indigenous Research Support Initiative of UBC’s Vice President Research and Innovation, the Office of Community Engagement under the Vice President External Relations, and the Centre for Asian Canadian Research and Engagement in the Faculty of Arts.

Issues like climate change, health disparities, and social inequalities require concerted efforts that transcend the capabilities of any single institution or group. Collaborations and diverse perspectives not only help us better understand and tackle problems, they sustain us. Reciprocal, respectful relationships with shared purpose are part of a rich life.

This is where Partnering in Research (PiR) steps in, a relationship-focused approach to collaboration between individuals from academia and communities so we can align our efforts for the benefit of all. Inspired by the success of the inaugural UBC Partnering in Research Conference in June 2023, our teams are committed to offering regular programs that uphold and promote excellence in partnered research across UBC. 

 

This initiative is designed for UBC researchers, students, and staff engaged in partnered research, as well as community partners already collaborating with UBC.
