Research Commons is the gateway for faculty towards research excellence at York University. As part of the Office of the Vice-President Research & Innovation (VPRI), we are the first stop on your research journey, fostering critical knowledge and skills to invigorate your program of research.
Support for navigating research services across the university
Targeted workshops for faculty at all levels and disciplines
Hands-on grant proposal support & mentorship from experienced grant writers
Research GPS
Our Research GPS (Grant Proposal Support) program offers a personalized approach to help hone grant development skills and turn research ideas into written proposals ready for submission. Professors are paired with a GPS specialist for one-on-one support, receive feedback from peer reviewers, and will also work with their Faculty research officer for technical and budget support. The program is designed for new grant applications and resubmissions.
