• $1,000 for conferences in Canada

The BCEOHRN Research Capacity Development Fund has two purposes:

1. To help new researchers (which includes post-secondary students) develop nationally competitive research proposals
2. To help develop new research teams that will be able to successfully compete for research funds at the national and international level.

For details, visit the Funding Opportunities page.

As a central repository of information, our website includes tools to assist the environmental and occupational health research community in BC:

• Sortable Jobs page
• Sortable Events listing, including deadlines for abstracts
• Sortable extensive Funding & Training opportunities listings

A mentorship program is being developed by the Network. For details, see the Mentorship Program page.

BCEOHRN members are encouraged to participate in this new shared resource for use by all members. A wiki has been developed to be a companion to the BCEOHRN Grey Literature database. The BCEOHRN Grey Literature Database is composed of materials created by British Columbia researchers. This wiki goes beyond the limits of the database by including sources from non-academic researchers globally. Throughout the wiki you will find many useful links, including: government websites and publications; library catalogues; industry websites and newsletters. Please visit the wiki and add your contributions of resources you access in carrying out your research, study or practice. Wiki Link
