Research Enterprise units

The Research Enterprise refers to the collective infrastructure that supports researchers at Brock University. The Research Enterprise recognizes the full research lifecycle, including planning, grants, awards, facilities and infrastructure, regulatory requirements, research security, knowledge transfer, and commercialization.

The Office of the Vice-President, Research (OVPR), oversees and facilitates research operations, facilitation, governance, and strategic planning for Brock University. The Research Enterprise facilitates a wide range of research, scholarship, and creative activities, each requiring its own forms of support, and each with connections to teaching and learning, to research impact, and to engagement with non-academic partners.

The OVPR currently comprises the Vice-President, Research and the Associate Vice-President, Research, as well as key staff support in financial management; strategic initiatives; equity, diversity, and inclusion; honours, prizes, awards, and distinctions; and office management.
