Brandon University has researchers in each of its faculties: Arts, Science, Education, Health Studies, and Music. Many of our researchers have received funding from a wide variety of national, provincial and local agencies to support their research. While the following links provide some information on research currently being undertaken by Brandon faculty, we encourage you to visit the individual Faculty websites or to contact the Research Office if you are looking for a specific researcher or research area.

Brandon University Research Profiles
The Research Profiles database provides information on the research initiatives currently being undertaken by faculty at Brandon University. The Profiles are written by the researchers and are a great way to learn more about the diverse projects undertaken at the University.

Brandon University is proud of our Chairs and the positive impact they have had on our faculty and the University at large. In 2008 Brandon University's Canada Research Chairs were showcased in our online magazine Ecclectica: Research Excellence issue.

Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Researchers
Currently there are twelve faculty members in four departments in the Faculty of Science who hold NSERC grants. NSERC also provides funding for the Undergraduate Student Research Awards (URSA) that allow promising students to gain research experience during the summer with one of the NSERC researchers. USRAs are $4,500 from NSERC plus at least an additional 25% funded by Brandon University.
