How we support research

The Office of Research Services (ORS) provides support services to faculty members, researchers and external partners. ORS supports researchers on both campuses.

These services cover all stages of the research funding process, including grant application support, administration and management, and financial services. ORS also supports the development and administration of research contracts and agreements.

Partnering with UNB

The Research and Innovation Partnerships (R&IP) group supports UNB’s role in building a stronger, healthier and more innovative New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada.

The team provides technology and knowledge transfer support for researchers and partners, including navigating commercialization and intellectual property protection. The group also facilitates research partnerships and provides access and navigation support to those looking to take advantage of UNB’s community of experts and its research facilities.
