UBC is home to advanced research facilities and equipment.
Infrastructure Database
The Institutional Program Office's Infrastructure Database serves as an inventory for CFI-funded infrastructure and allows researchers from UBC sites, other institutions, non-profits and industry to search for specific equipment currently available for use at UBC. The database is intended to be a tool to maximize the use of CFI-funded infrastructure, encourage sharing of research infrastructure amongst researchers, and facilitate collaborations.
The database is an ongoing work-in-progress, and is accessible on Workday by searching "CFI Asset Report". Contact ipo.admin@ubc.ca for assistance.
The CFI Research Facilities Navigator — Research Infrastructure Across Canada
The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) provides extensive support for research infrastructure. The CFI Research Facilities Navigator is a searchable online directory of funded research labs and facilities that may be available for collaborations.
