Administrative history
The UBC Office of Research Services was established in 1977 as Research Administration. Before its establishment, the President's Office oversaw the administration of the university's research activities. In 1983 Research Administration changed its name to Research Services. In 1986 its name changed to Research Services and Industry Liaison. In 1992 it changed its name back to Research Services. Throughout this time, Richard D. Spratley managed its activities. In 1983, when Research Administration changed its name, Spratley's position as Research Administrator was re-named, Director.
The Office administers grants and grant programs for the University. Several separate committees are responsible for administering grant programs and overseeing different types of research. The Human Ethics Committee oversees ethical review procedures for research involving humans. The Animal Care Committee approves research involving animals while ensuring that animal care guidelines are met. The Biosafety Committee reviews and supports research involving biohazardous materials and sets safety standards.
