Beware of

Faculty Organization Research Committee

The Faculty Organization Research Committee (FORC) serves as a venue for interface between faculty conducting research and the Office of Academic Affairs in order to assure that appropriate physical, human and fiscal resources are made available. In addition, the committee will provide individual consultation to faculty on research projects.

The function of FORC is:

  • To provide consultation to the Academic Vice-President on issues related to achieving and maintaining a refined and robust doctoral culture for the University.

  • To review applications for faculty research grant awards and make recommendations for distribution of available funds.

  • To advise the Academic Vice-President on annual budgetary expenditures for research support.

  • To advise the Academic Vice-President on requirements related to research facilities and equipment acquisition.

  • To provide guidance for applicants seeking  resources for statistical support and development for faculty with a research agenda.

The Chair person reports Committee actions to the Faculty Organization Executive Committee and Academic Vice-President.
