Research Advisory Council (RAC)
The Research Advisory Council (RAC) provides a forum for faculty to talk about research and scholarly work, to advocate research activity within the university, and to profile and promote research in an informative, sharing and scholarly format. RAC membership includes voting and non-voting members; however, everyone is welcome to attend.
The RAC provides advice and support to the AVP of Research, Engagement & Graduate Studies and other UFV decision‐making bodies such as the Senate Standing Committee for Research.
Membership consists of one faculty member delegated by each faculty area, Chair and Vice-Chair of the UFV Research Ethics Board, Research Chairs and Directors of each UFV research institute, centre, or lab and, as non-voting members, Deans, AVPs, and the VP Academic and Research Officer.
