2020/2021 SURVEY OF RESEARCH, SCHOLARLY ACTIVITY, CAPACITY BUILDING AND SERVICE
This survey includes a broad range of activity undertaken by faculty and non-teaching staff through 2020/2021 (April 1, 2020 – March 31,
2021) that collectively has supported and strengthened research, teaching and learning at UCN. A broad and inclusive approach was taken
in gathering this information, to capture the valuable and innovative work being done both internally and with external partners and
stakeholders. The information provided in the following order was current as of March 31, 2021.

Research at UCN
RESEARCH WITHIN THE BROADER UCN CONTEXT
Research in a wide range of areas provides benefits and improves basic knowledge about society and the world around us. This research
is important. It is further noted that, among universities and colleges in Manitoba, Canada, and beyond, research is a key activity in
establishing, maintaining and enhancing a strong reputation for UCN. Research, publication and other forms of dissemination of research
findings provide UCN with the opportunity to enhance its local, national and international reputation.

Given its unique position as provider of education and learning opportunities to communities in Northern Manitoba, UCN is at the forefront
of strengthening its research capacity and excellence.

A NOTE ABOUT CONDUCTING RESEARCH
Those conducting research tend to look at their work less as a project on a “to do” list and more as a passion to pursue on an ongoing basis.
As a result, researchers often work long hours, weekends and holidays. The outcomes of research are often difficult to predict, and results
often are not achieved on a predictable schedule.

A NOTE ON THE REQUIREMENTS OF PROFESSORS, UNIVERSITY INSTRUCTORS AND COLLEGE INSTRUCTORS RESPECTING
RESEARCH AT UCN
In accordance with the MGEU-UCN Collective Agreement, members in a professorial rank are expected to conduct research; university
instructors are not required to conduct research as part of their expected duties (although some do); and applied research is included as
part of the workload for college instructors.

Tables on the next pages are listing research and scholarly activities happened at UCN in 2020/2021.
