Funding, News and Announcements

Grant-paid staff are integral to Dalhousie’s research mission. The employee group consists of approximately 1,500 full time, part time, student, and casual staff, who work for PIs on research projects and are funded by external granting agencies, industry partners and other organizations.

In March 2020, Britney Sears stepped into a new Dalhousie HR Consultant term role dedicated to supporting the needs of these employees. With the assistance of the Government of Canada’s Research Support Fund, Dalhousie transitioned the role into a permanent, full-time position beginning in May 2022.
