The Office of the Dean and Vice-Provost of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies invites faculty members and PhD student teams to submit a proposal for the PhD Collab Pilot Initiative.
The PhD Collab pilot provides guidance and awards up to $100,000 to support inter/transdisciplinary teams of UBC PhD students, faculty members, and others as appropriate, to work together on the co-production of new knowledge and/or applications to address complex questions or problems. This is the second year of funding, after an initial launch in the fall of 2023.
Through this pilot, PhD students will be able to collaborate with each other across disciplinary lines, along with faculty, and partners in non-academic sectors. Working as a team to design, conduct and produce outputs from the scholarly work together is anticipated. The collaborative work should be designed to form a component of each student’s dissertation, and, as relevant, address broader societal or stakeholder objectives.
In addition to promoting UBC research on important issues, the purpose of the pilot is to incentivize and enrich PhD student learning in collaborative, inter/transdisciplinary approaches to research and scholarship.
Register for a virtual Info Session with Dr. Jenny Phelps to learn more about the program.
Letters of intent for the 2025/26 PhD Collab pilot are due by 4 p.m. on June 13, 2025. For more information on the initiative, visit the website.
