Funding Opportunities

Funding opportunities are available to faculty and graduate students at Queen’s University to assist them with their research.

The Graduate Studies and Research Office administers internal funding for faculty members and graduate students.  Its staff members are also available to act as a liaison with the Office of Research Services (ORS) and to assist  with applications for other University and external funding opportunities.

ORS administers various Queen’s University initiatives as well as external funding opportunities. Its website provides useful information on funding sources and submitting proposals. Faculty can sign up for the ORS Funding Opportunities Distribution List and search its archives. All messages which are sent out on the Distribution List are summarized on the ORS calendar.

Queen's University is a member of the Community of Science (COS), an international research network that covers the humanities and the physical, social, and life sciences. The COS has an extensive database and funding alerts link the expertise profile of the user to relevant news announcements which are then provided by email. ORS gives workshops on the use of the database and funding alerts.

The staff of the Graduate Studies and Research Office will forward relevant messages from the ORS and COS lists to graduate students.

Reminder

Since it is the responsibility of the Graduate Studies and Research Office staff to collect research data for reporting purposes, it is important that faculty submit an e-copy of all applications for funding to the Office Assistant for their records and inclusion in the Faculty's research database.
