Research services

We'll help you develop your research question and get you thinking about other project considerations, like:

• time and workload
• funding and budget
• infrastructure requirements 
• student/contractor hiring
• reporting and dissemination of information 
• Will your research deal with humans or animals?
  • If yes, you will require an ethics review.
  • If unsure, contact us.

We'll work with you to find and apply for both internal and external funding. 

• Available Internal Grants (1 year funding term):
  • Internal Scholarly Activity Grants
• External funding may be available from:
  • Municipal, Territorial and First Nations Governments
  • Federal Government departments 
  • Foundations
  • Industry partners
  • University partners 
  • Tri Councils – NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR
  • Private donor, through YukonU Foundation

**Please note: applications for funding over $50,000 must be approved by the Financial Administration Committee [BH1] prior to development and submission. The Research Services Office can help facilitate this process. 

We'll help you navigate ethics and assist you with working on the land and with communities. 

• Human and animal research ethics applications are due two weeks prior to Research Ethics Board meeting for review.
• Be sure to apply for ethics at the same time as funding goes in, so there is no delay in starting your research once the funds come in – please check in with the Ethics Coordinator.
• Understand Yukon University’s Policies and Procedures on Research Ethics and Compliance.

We'll help you get your project underway or assist with revisions to your funding application.
