A note to new and returning Researchers:
Priority is given to investigators from our member universities, and is subject to availability of facilities, equipment and housing. The application process will vary depending on the nature of your research project.
- Application deadline: March 1, 2020.
- Please apply for research spaces at the BMSC by the application deadline to ensure your application is dealt with in a timely manner and all your research needs can be met.
- Plan Ahead. Allow up to 60 days for DFO Collection Permits and Animal Use Protocol (AUP) review and approval. AUP submission deadlines are March 1, May 1, July 1, and September 1.
Applicants for research space should review the Research Policies that are adhered to at BMSC and determine if and how they will influence your research plans. There are specific policies relating to boat use, collecting organisms, SCUBA diving, animal care, exotic species restrictions, and biohazard and radiation safety.
*Please note – while we welcome researchers year-round, housing space and lab facilities can be limiting during the busy summer instructional period; we thus encourage researchers to consider visiting in the fall, winter, or spring.
The Research User Agreement Form must be signed and returned to the Research Coordinator prior to your arrival at BMSC.
Sign and attach the .pdf file to your Research Request application.
Access to Huu-ay-aht Lands requires a permit, which must be approved before your arrival at BMSC.
