UBC is pleased to launch the 2025 competition for the Wall Fellowships and Wall Research Awards.
These awards are valued at approximately $4 million annually and have been made possible by the generosity of Dr. Peter Wall.
This suite of awards represents one of the largest internal award programs at any university in North America. It supports the research activities of tenured and tenure-track faculty members at all stages of their career, as well as those of master’s and doctoral students.;
Application categories are as follows:
- Wall Fellowships valued at $1 million each, which will be awarded to two faculty members each year;
- Wall Research Awards, which are available for individual and team projects from faculty members, valued at up to $80,000 and $250,000 respectively; and
- Wall Research Awards for graduate students ranging from $25,000 to $30,000 per year.
The awards will focus on research relating to three areas of interest:
- Sustainable approaches to and development of the general urban environment, including water, energy and transportation infrastructure in British Columbia;
- Environmental protection of oceans, beaches and waterfronts that impact British Columbia; and
- Sustainable approaches to resource-intensive industry in British Columbia.
Projects within these areas of interest should principally relate to British Columbia, or if addressing another jurisdiction, be applicable to approaches within British Columbia.
The timelines for each award category within the Wall Legacy Award program are unique with different NOI and full submission deadlines. Please visit the Wall Legacy Awards website for full details and application dates and to read about the projects selected in the inaugural 2024 competition.
Graduate students can apply until March 31, 2025. Learn more.
