UNBC researchers awarded nearly $2 million in funding grants

University of Northern British Columbia researchers will explore local solutions that could have global impacts with $2 million in funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada .

Eleven UNBC researchers, including seven in the early stages of their careers, received funding through the NSERC Discovery Grant program. The grants, worth a combined total of nearly $2 million over five years will support research activities and provide funding for undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral researchers at UNBC.

“This research will provide a new framework for understanding the range of effects and tolerance of wildlife species to climate change,” says Johnson. “Insights will have direct application to the management of habitat for moose, caribou, and black bear across rapidly changing landscapes.” “The NSERC Discovery Grants provide scholars with the resources they need to pursue groundbreaking research, foster a culture of curiosity and create knowledge through community-driven research,” says UNBC vice-president research and innovation Paula Wood-Adams. “The grants also provide opportunities for students at all levels to gain hands-on learning experiences working with expert researchers.”
