Research Office

The Faculty of Education Research Office works with faculty members, graduate students, and staff to provide assistance with a range of research activities; from finding research funding and developing research grant proposals to post-award administration. We support visiting scholars and researchers, mentor early career faculty members, offer workshops on topics that build research knowledge and skills, and administer internal conference travel and research awards for faculty and graduate students.
