Description The goal of the BC Postdoctoral Research Grants program is to fund research and educational opportunities so that postdocs at BC have an opportunity to gain skills and experience important for their overall goals in their postdoctoral training. Travel funding for conferences is specifically excluded from this program. There are two areas of funding: Research: Funding may be used to support the postdoc’s
own research, meaning it cannot be put toward their PI’s lab’s general project budget. It also cannot be used toward salary. The postdoc may use the funding to purchase software or equipment specific to their independent work, to compensate research participants, to pay a stipend to a graduate or undergraduate research assistant, or to support an entire study on which the postdoc is the lead researcher. It may also
be used to collect pilot data that the postdoc plans to use in a future grant application. A budget of no more than $2,500 can be requested for research. Training: While these grants cannot be used for conference travel, they can be used toward travel for (1) training opportunities (such as a workshop to learn a methodology or instrument) or (2) to visit another lab at a different institution. A budget of no more
than $1,500 can be requested for travel.
