As one of Canada's leading research universities, innovation, discovery and learning is at the heart of all that we do. We have a relentless pursuit of quality in our teaching and research programs and are guided by our mission to contribute to the well-being of the people of Alberta, Canada and the world. The discoveries in our various faculties, institutes, and multi-faculty initiatives can be found throughout the web pages of the University of Calgary.

Research Services provides the supporting infrastructure for these activities. The web pages linked to this site introduce the senior personnel in research administration and provide links to such things as funding opportunities, important announcements in communications, university policies on research matters, and to the many centres and institutes at the University. In addition, information about bringing the results of research to the community can be found through our contracts and industry links, as well as those in technology commercialization. There are also links to electronic forms and agreement templates.

A Manual of Research Information for Faculty Members has been created, which describes the broad range of services provided by Research Services. This resource was created for new faculty but might be equally useful for established researchers.
