Hello everyone!

I hope you're doing well and that the semester hasn't been too chaotic so far. I'm excited to share that I'm officially back from maternity leave, recharged and slightly sleep-deprived, but overall, very happy to return to assist you with your research!

I'm in the process of getting up to speed on everything I missed, so if you have projects on the go, proposals coming up, or anything you'd like support with, please feel free to drop me an email or better yet, complete the very short form linked below (all answers optional)! I'd love to connect/reconnect and hear what you've been working on, and what we should look forward to.

The University of Lethbridge's Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. The University is located in traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory. I am grateful to live and work on the traditional land of the Blackfoot people, and continue to learn and honour their traditional ways of knowing in caring for this land, as well as all Indigenous Peoples who have helped shape and continue to strengthen our University community.

All applications/proposals/notices of intent must be approved by the Office of Research & Innovation Services (ORIS) using the Research Proposal Form (RPF) on the Bridgehttps://bridge.uleth.ca/selfservicetwbkwbis.P_GenMenu?name=bmenu.P_MainMnu with a copy of the application. Therefore, applicants and co-applicants should allow sufficient lead time for a thorough review at each approval level. The RPF must be received before an application is submitted electronically to a funding agency. The faculty member's responsibility is to ensure that the ORIS receives a completed RPF well before the agency deadline.
