Who We Are
Simon Fraser University is a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.
In the School of Medicine, we are committed to shaping the future of healthcare through innovative education, groundbreaking research, and community engagement. As we embark on this journey to redefine medical education, we are seeking passionate individuals who are eager to contribute to our mission.
We envision a medical education system where students and residents learn as part of a team in primary care, community-level settings and patient-centred environments. Our curriculum considers social, environmental and prevention contexts while seeking to advance reconciliation by embedding and equalizing Indigenous knowledge systems in our learning, research and practices. As we establish the School of Medicine in Surrey, B.C., we will foster our growing relationships with the local community, Fraser Health Authority, First Nations Health Authority, physicians and Indigenous partners who will help us meet the diverse health needs of the communities we serve. We seek to improve access to primary care throughout the province while resting on a solid foundation of high-quality, accredited education and world-class research efforts that keep us oriented toward measurable and socially accountable outcomes.
About the Role
The Research Grants Facilitator plays a pivotal role in advancing the School of Medicine’s research mission by leading the development of high-quality grant, award, and contract proposals and by supporting faculty and trainees throughout the full research funding cycle. This position is central to strengthening the School’s research capacity in health and medical education, with a special focus on primary care. Working closely with researchers and funding partners, the Facilitator ensures proposals are competitive, strategically aligned, and compliant with institutional and agency requirements. The role directly contributes to the School’s priorities in research growth, knowledge mobilization, and community-engaged scholarship. Upcoming initiatives include enhancing internal peer-review processes, supporting large institutional proposals, expanding interdisciplinary and community-based research partnerships, and contributing to long-term strategic research planning. This is an opportunity for a candidate who thrives at the intersection of research development, strategy, collaboration, and impact.
