Research Commons

The first stop on your research journey at York!

If you are not sure where to go, or have questions about the research services available, contact rescom@yorku.ca.

Faculty Research Offices

If you are planning to prepare an application for grant funding, your Faculty Research Office should be your first point of contact.

Faculty Research Offices can provide grant proposal support, grant administration, knowledge mobilization support, and assistance with hiring students and postdoctoral fellows/visitors.

Organized Research Units

If you are looking to connect with researchers across disciplines who have similar research interests, consider joining one of York’s 31 organized research units (ORUs).
