Description
The Wall Research Awards support thesis and dissertation research through the Peter Wall Legacy Fund, an endowment established by Peter Wall. Administered by UBC Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, the awards help continuing master’s and PhD students complete their degrees while advancing environmental and sustainability research.
Research must address sustainable urban environments, including water, energy and transportation infrastructure; protection of oceans, beaches and waterfronts; or sustainable approaches to resource-intensive industry. Projects principally relate to British Columbia, although work addressing other Canadian or international regions is eligible. Depending on funding availability, priority goes to projects focused on British Columbia. Proposals are assessed on their research objectives, methods, dissemination plans, progress and feasibility of degree completion.
