Research represents one of the most dynamic elements of the university enterprise at Queen's. The role of the Vice-Principal Research (VPR) reflects the responsibilities associated with coordinating and promoting research and advancing the research activities that contribute to new discoveries and creative works, scientific and technical breakthroughs, advances in the social sciences and humanities, innovation, institutional reputation, and, importantly, to the education and training of our students.
The VPR Portfolio provides services, guidance, and resources to help Queen’s researchers succeed throughout their research journey—from idea to impact. Whether you’re applying for your first grant, managing a large project, or sharing your discoveries with the world, we’re here to help.
