Faculty research funding can be obtained from various sources, including Canada's three main federal funding agencies (the Tri-Agencies): Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC); Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC); and the Canadian National Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). Research funding can also be obtained at the University-level within UBC and at the Faculty-level within the Faculty of Education. In addition to the Tri-Agencies, there are other external sources of research funding that faculty can tap into; these include ministries and not-for-profit philanthropic organizations such as foundations. For the period 1999-2004:
40% of the Faculty's research funding comes from Canada's Tri-Agencies;
48% comes from other external sources in the form of grants-in-aid, agreements and contracts;
12% comes from grants provided at the University-level within UBC.
