Vice-President's Message

As I begin my second term as Vice-President, Research, I am elated by the success of our researchers and filled with optimism for our future. If we can stick fast to our vision and sustain the momentum that has carried us this far, we will be well along our way to achieving our full potential as one of Canada’s top research-intensive universities.

SFU Strategic Research Plan

The Strategic Research Plan guides the University in responding effectively to the changing environment in research opportunities, and provides a platform for our participation in international research-related initiatives. It was developed after an extensive university-wide consultation.

The CRC and CFI Strategic Research Plan is required when working with the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) program, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), and any federal granting agency program that requires an SRP. It links to the Strategic Research Plan and contains an overview of our seven major research themes and associated sub-themes, as well as information specific to the CRC program. SFU's SRP Summary can be obtained from the Canada Research Chairs website.
