The Research and Scholarship Success Strategy

This research and scholarship support strategy facilitates the full implementation of theme-based research objectives and ensures that the policies and infrastructures are in place to enable the faculty and their teams to achieve UB 2020 research and scholarship goals. In this section, we discuss research and scholarship space needs, identify the services required to compete successfully for more research funding as well as infrastructures that support and encourage the growth of arts and humanities scholarship. This strategy also examines how the university incentivizes and celebrates research and scholarly achievement.

What we share in this summary are the objectives framed as questions contained in the strategy. Later in February, these potential objectives will be framed as questions will be written as statements of action the university will pursue as a community together.
