Forming a new Centre or Institute
Interested in Establishing a New Research Centre or Institute in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry?
The use of the term "centre" and "institute" is limited by approval processes that are in place at the faculty and university level. See the UAPPOL Academic Centres and Institutes Establishment Procedure and the Template for Proposals to Establish New Academic Centres and Institutes. See also the Centres and Institutes Policy.
If you are interested in establishing a new research centre or institute please submit a brief summary (one page or less) to the vdradmin@ualberta.ca Vice Deans, Research.
This summary should:
- Justify the establishment of the centre or institute
- Describe how it fits within the priorities of the Faculty, College and/University
- Provide information on the proposed membership (approximate numbers of faculty members, whether it includes members from other faculties, etc.)
- Highlight linkage/relationship with other centres or institutes at the University of Alberta (and elsewhere if appropriate).
