Training & Resources

What kind of training is provided by the Division of Vice-President, Research & Innovation (VPRI)?

The VPRI offers a range of training and educational resources to ensure that researchers and staff supporting research are fully aware of roles, responsibilities, and best practices in research and innovation activities.

What do I need before I can begin?

For researchers and research staff a project plan with a detailed description of your research-related procedures will help determine the training that you and/or your research team will need to complete.

For research administration/support staff a detailed description of your tasks, including software you use, can help determine the most beneficial training for you.
