StFX ENGLISH PROFESSOR DR. MAUREEN MOYNAGH RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS, INTERNATIONAL HONOUR FOR HER WORK StFX English professor Dr. Maureen Moynagh’s scholarly work was recognized in 2019 with a prestigious international award for an essay published in the African American Review. Her 2018 article, “Speculative Pasts and Afro-Futures: Nalo Hopkinson’s Trans-American Imaginary,” was singled out as the journal’s best of the year, receiving the Joe Weixlmann Prize for the Year’s Best Essay in 20th and 21st Century African American Literature. Dr. Moynagh’s essay focused on Nalo Hopkinson, an African-Canadian writer who works mostly in science fiction and fantasy. It situated Ms. Hopkinson’s fiction in relation to Afrofuturism—science fiction produced by African-diaspora writers that offer a critique of the present through counter-factual histories and alternative future worlds. In her essay, Dr. Moynagh argues that Ms. Hopkinson’s fiction invites readers to see the speculative genres themselves as a means of addressing the social and political injustice that has conventionally been the province of realist fiction. Dr. Moynagh’s essay appeared in the Fall 2018 issue of African American Review, a special issue devoted to African-Canadian literature edited by Canadian and Nova Scotian poet, playwright and literary critic George Elliott Clarke. The Review, published by John Hopkins University Press, is a leading scholarly aggregation of insightful essays on African American literature, theatre, film, the visual arts, and culture; interviews; poetry; fiction; and book reviews and has featured renowned writers and cultural critics and fosters conversation among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.

RESEARCH PAPERS PRODUCED BY STFX FLUXLAB HELP INFORM CANADIAN POLICY AND MONITORING OF GREENHOUSE GAS METHANE SOURCES Two major 2019 studies produced by StFX’s FluxLab, led by Earth Sciences professor Dr. Dave Risk, were published in the prominent international journals, Environmental Research Communications and Elementa Science and are contributing to nation-leading efforts focused on understanding methane gas leaks. Methane is a colorless and odourless greenhouse gas that constituents 95 per cent of natural gas and acts as a powerful greenhouse gas when released into the air. The Canadian government has pledged to cut natural gas waste from oil and gas operations by 45 per cent, and in 2018 released new federal methane regulations. However, one major problem is understanding base levels of methane and where it is coming from. The FluxLab has developed new mobile technologies to measure methane faster and more conveniently, as well as undertaken major studies across different oil and gas producing regions in Canada. Elizabeth O’Connell, lead author of the Elementa Science article, started as a StFX B.Sc. student, worked as a research associate in Fluxlab and is now President of the StFX spinoff company Arolytics. Her article documents characteristics of over 3,000 gas plumes the team tracked down in three oil and gas developments across Alberta, and sourced to specific types of oil and gas infrastructure. The Environmental Research Communications article looks across southeastern Saskatchewan to compare the environmental performance of hydraulic fracturing operations co-located nearby conventional oil operations. Both studies showed that methane emission levels are often higher than official inventories suggest, a finding consistent with 2017 results in another publication from Dr. Risk’s group documenting elevated emissions in British Columbia from shale gas operations. The StFX researchers found evidence that industry does have the expertise required to mitigate methane; for example, in some jurisdictions industry had already taken steps to reduce emissions in areas where odour complaints were frequent. In the weeks following the publication of these two papers from Dr. Risk’s group, all three Canadian western provinces released their own methane regulations, with the intent to override the backstop federal regulations with a more regionally nuanced approach. FluxLab’s data sets can now be used to test the merits of these different approaches, and to project the resultant mitigation success using real field data rather than the estimated values. Currently, the research group is charged with building a national methane measurement archive, based on measurements they have made plus measurements by other research teams and government departments as part of a large ongoing methane research program. The new data sets will serve the needs of industry and policymakers until industry’s own measurements start flowing in 2020 as part of the new regulated approach to replace the old practice of estimation. 4

StFX PHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR DR. CHRISTOPHER BYRNE’S BOOK ON ARISTOTLE’S PHYSICS A FINALIST FOR PRESTIGIOUS PROSE AWARD StFX Philosophy professor Dr. Christopher Byrne ended his final year at StFX with the honour of having his most recent book, Aristotle’s Science of Matter and Motion (published in 2018 by the University of Toronto Press) being named a finalist in the philosophy section of the 2019 PROSE (Professional Scholarly Excellence) awards presented by the Association of American Publishers. The PROSE awards honour scholarly work of extraordinary merit that make a significant contribution to a field of study in a given year. The list of nominees in the awards cover 49 categories represented by publishers from around the world. Dr. Byrne’s book, which deals with Aristotle’s contributions to physics, was one of three finalists in the philosophy category. While Dr. Byrne’s book did not win, it was a significant accomplishment to be shortlisted in the top three, as hundreds of books on philosophy would have been published over the course of the year. To help publish this book, Dr. Byrne received a grant of $8,000 for the book from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council’s (SSHRC) Aid to Scholarly Publications, awarded by the Federation for Humanities and Social Sciences, a prestigious award determined through a competitive process. Dr. Byrne was inspired to research and write this book due to a conundrum. While Aristotle is considered one of the most important figures in the history of philosophy and his important contributions to biology, ethics, political philosophy, logic, metaphysics, rhetoric, and the theory of tragedy, he is also held by many philosophers and historians of science to have failed in the area of physics and in his understanding of the material world. In conducting his research for this book, Dr. Byrne discovered that Aristotle’s views on the material world are not nearly so bizarre and wrong-headed as people have claimed. On the contrary, he found that Aristotle offered a systematic account of matter, motion, and the basic causal powers found in all physical objects due to the matter from which they are made.

StFX PROFESSOR RECEIVES $100,000 GRANT TO EXPLORE HOW TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY-BASED SEARCH AND RESCUE IN CANADA’S NORTH StFX’s Dr. Peter Kikkert, Irving Shipbuilding Chair in Arctic Policy at the Brian Mulroney Institute of Government, received a $100,000 grant in 2019 to explore how to improve community-based search and rescue (SAR) and emergency response capabilities in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut. Dr. Kikkert received the highly competitive Early Career Faculty Grant from the Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR) – a national Network of Centres of Excellence headquartered at Dalhousie University. With maritime activity increasing throughout the waters of the Canadian Arctic, involving everything from local small craft carrying hunters and fishers, to cruise ships, vessels supporting resource development, and pleasure craft, having effective community-based SAR and emergency response capabilities have never been more essential in Canada’s northern regions. His new research grant will open the door to effective community engagement in this research, providing for travel, the hiring of community research associates and translators, honorarium for participants, and other workshop costs. The project will begin with capacity-mapping workshops held in the northern communities, which will bring organizations together to determine assets and resources available to a community, and identify untapped or unrecognized resources and register collective and individual capacities, ranging from who is involved in SAR and emergency response, to the existence of defined response procedures, first-aid skills, equipment, infrastructure, and completed training. This horizontal capacity-mapping will then be used to facilitate capabilitybased planning workshops, he says, which will determine whether a community has the assets it requires to respond to the wide array of emergencies it might face. Dr. Kikkert hopes that this project will contribute to these efforts by assessing existing capacity, defining best practices, streamlining and improving training, resources, equipment, and identifying key areas for further capacity-building. Improvements to local capability will heighten the effectiveness and efficiency of SAR and emergency response practices in Arctic communities, and, most importantly, contribute to community resilience, improve response times, and save lives. By extension, he says improvements to SAR and emergency response capabilities will help communities mitigate the impacts of climate change and increasing human activity in the Arctic.

StFX ENGLISH PROFESSOR AND CRC IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES DR. LAURA ESTILL WINS INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR JOURNAL ESSAY Dr. Laura Estill, StFX English professor and Canada Research Chair in Digital Humanities, won the Barbara Palmer Award for the 2019 best new essay in early drama archival research. The award, presented annually by the Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society (MRDS), recognizes an essay published within 18 months of the deadline and “judged by the committee to be of outstanding quality” on the topic of early drama archival research. The Palmer Award was officially announced during the annual MRDS meeting in May 2019, at the International Congress on Medieval Studies, at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI. Dr. Estill’s article, “The Urge to Organize Early Modern Miscellanies: Reading Cotgrave’s The English Treasury of Wit and Language” appeared in the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America (PBSA), published by the University of Chicago Press Journals. The article deals with the subject of seventeenth-century readers and playgoers who copied parts from plays into manuscripts, which tells us what they took, literally and figuratively, from drama. Dr. Estill painstakingly researched the print version of handwritten documents in John Cotgrave’s English Treasury of Wit and Language (London, 1655), where he included printed selections from plays, but did not give information on his sources regarding the marginalia (handwritten notes) that readers had included in the volume. To undertake research for her article, Dr. Estill reviewed every known copy of the English Treasury – visiting many in person, or by contacting librarians and archivists who consulted copies or took pictures for her. Dr. Estill compared all the marginalia (handwritten notes) in all known copies of this rare book, which took years of research, multiple archive trips, and the support scholars, librarians, and archivists in the United Kingdom and across North America.

RANKIN SCHOOL OF NURSING PROFESSOR DR. DONNA HALPERIN RECEIVES TWO GRANTS FOR VACCINE RESEARCH StFX Rankin School of Nursing professor Dr. Donna Halperin was the successful co-Principal Investigator recipient of two 2019 Canadian Immunization Research Network (CIRN) grants to help fund vaccine research. The first project was funded for $300,481 over two years to research Burden Ethnographic Modeling Evaluation Qaujilisaaqtuq (BEMEQ) RSV. A further $150,010 was awarded to a second project, A Multifaceted Evaluation of Provincial Maternal Tdap Immunization Programs. The RSV study will address the recent accelerated clinical development of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine candidates for pregnant women and children that offers the promise of RSV prevention. RSV is the most common cause of severe lower respiratory tract infection in young children worldwide with very high rates observed in the Canadian Arctic. The study will take place in in Nunavik (northern Quebec) and Nunavut, with the goal of helping inform public health planning by collecting data on RSV morbidity and health care use, careful modelling and economic analysis of the potential benefits of vaccines and an understanding of the acceptability of proposed interventions in target populations. The second study will undertake a multi-faceted evaluation of provincial maternal Tdap vaccine programs taking place in five provinces, with the goal of informing the implementation of maternal Tdap vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) programs being rolled out across the country. The purpose of the Tdap vaccine is to protect newborn infants in Canada from pertussis infection (Whooping Cough), a severe respiratory infection. Unimmunized infants, including those who are too young to have completed their primary infant immunization series, are at the greatest risk of hospitalization and death. Immunization in pregnancy is safe and protects the infant until they are ready to receive the vaccine at two months of age. The focus of this study is to determine support and resources offered to health care providers for maternal Tdap programs and to identify gaps in learning needs according to provider type. The knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors (KABB) of pregnant women regarding the maternal Tdap vaccine will also be determined. Three interventions will be developed; a practice intervention tool for providers; and an information intervention and a social marketing strategy, both directed towards pregnant women for maternal immunization. These three interventions will be evaluated for acceptability. This research is part of a broader study, which brings together 28 investigators across Canada. The focus of Dr. Halperin’s portion of the study will be to describe the key determinants of vaccine acceptance and refusal at the demand side (values, attitudes, beliefs) and the access side (logistical, healthcare system factors impacting access and vaccine services) amongst parents, healthcare providers, educators, and public health practitioners. Sharing circles and key informant interviews will be used to collect this information in Nunavut. CIRN is funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), and is a national network of vaccine researchers who develop and test methodologies related to the evaluation of vaccines as they pertain to safety, immunogenicity and effectiveness, and program implementation and evaluation. CIRN is a network of networks, comprising eight sub-networks, composed of over 100 investigators across 40 Canadian institutions, involving experts in vaccine-related evaluative research. 8

StFX’S DR. AGNES CALLISTE POSTHUMOUSLY RECOGNIZED BY CANADIAN SOCIOLOGY ASSOCIATION FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS Dr. Agnes Calliste, a celebrated academic and a sociology professor who taught at StFX for over two decades where she pioneered courses on the sociology of race and gender, has been posthumously recognized for her outstanding contributions to Canadian sociology by the Canadian Sociology Association (CSA). Dr. Calliste was the recipient of the CSA Outstanding Contribution Award presented in Vancouver at the association’s 2019 annual meeting. Dr. Calliste taught and conducted research at StFX from 1984 until her retirement in 2010. Over the course of this time Dr. Calliste distinguished herself as one the country’s leading experts in the areas of anti-racism, gender and education, and Canada’s immigration and race-based employment policies during the first half of the 20th Century. Particularly influential was Dr. Calliste’s research into the experience of African-Canadian sleeping car porters and their struggle for employment equity on Canada’s national railroads. Equally significant were her publications on anti-racism organizing and resistance by African-Canadian women nurses, black families in Canada, and the influence of the civil rights and black power movements in Canada. Important parts of this work were undertaken collaboratively with Dr. George Dei from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. Dr. Calliste also participated as a member of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, as well as starting up for and serving as the first chair for the local chapter of the National Congress of Black Women. Additionally, the annual African Heritage Month lectures that Dr. Calliste initiated are now designated as the annual Dr. Agnes Calliste African Heritage Lecture at StFX.

GOVERNMENT OF CANADA INVESTS OVER $7.7 MILLION IN THE NATIONAL COLLABORATING CENTRE FOR THE DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH AT StFX In 2019, the Government of Canada provided $7.7 million over eight years in renewed funding for the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH), hosted on the StFX campus. This renewed funding supports research and evidence-based knowledge exchange to improve health equity for Canadians, and will enable Canada’s public health community to take action on the social determinants of health, helping to close the gap between those who are most and least healthy. While all Canadians should enjoy the benefits of good health, persistent health inequalities exist for many, including those with lower socioeconomic status, Indigenous peoples, sexual and racial/ethnic minorities, immigrants, and people living with physical or mental impairments. The renewed investments in the NCCDH, recognized for its work on improving public health sector knowledge, skills, policy, structures and decision-making, will help advance health equity, and reduce harm from social circumstances that diminish health in Canada. The current work of the NCCDH includes inter-sectoral partnerships on building health equity organizational capacity, interventions to integrate equity targets, opioid surveillance, housing, Indigenous reconciliation, anti-racism initiatives, healthy built environment, mental health, food security, community interventions, and early child development.

StFX HUMAN NUTRITION PROFESSOR RECEIVES NATIONAL FUNDING FOR FOOD CHEMISTRY RESEARCH Innovative food chemistry research on the StFX campus received a big boost in 2019 with the news that human nutrition professor Dr. Marcia English has received nearly $200,000 in research infrastructure funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and Research Nova Scotia (RNS). Dr. English received $88,626 from each of the CFI John R. Evans Leaders Fund and RNS for the proposal to create a Food Chemistry Research Platform for Investigating Aroma-active Compound Interactions in Plant-based Proteins. The combined funding from CFI and Research Nova Scotia will help to purchase a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer with olfactory detection (GC-MS/O) and a preparative chromatography system for protein purification to support food chemistry research at StFX. The GC-MS/O will allow Dr. English and her research group to establish correlations between the chemical nature of specific aroma and off-flavour compounds from leguminous plant sources with the human perception of smell. In addition, the protein purification system will enable the team to extract and purify key proteins from these plant sources, and study their biochemical interactions with aroma compounds. This research equipment is very timely since there has been an increased interest to replace and/or reduce the levels of animal protein with plant-based proteins in traditional and novel food products. Moreover, this equipment provides new opportunities to train undergraduate and graduate students at StFX with interdisciplinary research skills in protein and flavour chemistry, which will be beneficial for various placements in the food industry.

StFX EDUCATION PROFESSOR WINS BEST PAPER OF THE YEAR AWARD FROM INTERNATIONALLY RESPECTED JOURNAL Dr. Dan Robinson, Chair of StFX’s Department of Teacher Education, and an Associate Professor of physical education and sport pedagogy, received a major international honour in 2019 for his research looking into what physical education teachers know about physical literary. A paper he co-authored with Lynn Randall, of the University of New Brunswick, and Joe Barrett, Brock University, won the 2018 Metzler-Freedman Exemplary Paper Award for the best paper published in 2018 in the Journal of Teaching in Physical Education (JTPE)—one of the best journals in their field. The award, named in honour of JTPE co-founding editors, Michael Metzler and Mark Freedman, recognizes excellence in sport pedagogy scholarship. It was presented at the 2019 annual SHAPE America National Convention & Expo held in Tampa, Florida. Their article, “Physical literacy (mis)understandings: What do leading physical education teachers know about physical literacy?” addresses physical literacy, a concept that has been increasing in both popularity and usage, particularly over the last decade and is especially true within physical education, sport, and recreation disciplines. Their research article published the findings from a recent study in which they aimed to understand what some of the nation’s leading physical education teachers knew about the physical literacy construct. The authors found that many were unable to articulate conceptions of physical literacy that are consistent with contemporary perspectives, and that oversimplifications and misunderstandings result in physical education teachers doing “more of the same”—offering old wine in new bottles—rather than genuinely reconsidering the work that they might do.

STFX LAUNCHES CLIMATE SERVICES AND RESEARCH CENTRE 2019 saw StFX launch a new research centre on campus that is intended to serve the regional community as it develops and disseminates advanced climate models and data to provide practical information on the physical, social, and economic impacts of climate change. The Climate Services & Research Centre (CSRC) will function as a hub that offers services, including creating regional predictive climate modelling scenarios that will help anticipate potential climate change consequences and serve as a guide to develop adaptability strategies in response to projected future climate, to organizations of all types. StFX researchers, led by Dr. Hugo Beltrami, a StFX earth sciences professor and Canada Research Chair in Climate Dynamics, have capabilities to produce regional climate model simulations that will help produce evidence-based solutions to regional climate change problems, and develop adaptation strategies that are applicable specifically in the region. The Centre’s researchers have access to a dedicated computer cluster that can be used to generate climate models at local scales, producing predictive scenarios tailored towards specific questions about how climate change will affect the Maritime provinces. Members of the Climate Research and Services Centre will work as a team to produce models, and to provide analysis and potential solutions, depending on what questions they are being asked to investigate. Faculty researchers comprising the newly created CSRC include Dr. Beltrami, Dr. Corrine Cash, Dr. Lisa Kellman, Dr. Andrew MacDougall and Dr. Patrick Withey. Their expertise is wide-ranging and spans social, economic, and scientific dimensions of understanding climate change. Past work included predicting the propagation of Lyme disease-carrying ticks in different areas of the province and Atlantic Canada, based on potential future temperature changes. The CSRC has also been called upon to assess the potential for climate change induced flooding in the province. The CSRC contribution was part of a multi-institutional effort provide the Government of Nova Scotia with vital information needed to develop flood lines-related regulations impacting future infrastructure development in the province. With this type of information and analysis, people can prepare and adapt more readily climate change impacts by developing solutions based on evidence of future trends.

MURRAY GIBSON, STUDIO FACULTY IN THE StFX ART DEPARTMENT, INDUCTED INTO THE ROYAL CANADIAN ACADEMY OF ARTS Murray Gibson, tapestry artist and part-time studio faculty member in the StFX Art Department, was inducted in October 2019 into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, which celebrates the achievement of excellence and innovation by Canadian artists and designers across the country. The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts is an honourary organization of over 700 established professional artists and designers from all regions of Canada. With members nominated and elected by their peers, the RCA has, since 1880, come to represent many of Canada’s most distinguished visual artists and designers. Murray’s work epitomizes the art of contemporary tapestry and has been recognized internationally for its impact and influence. Conceptually, his tapestries are the result of extensive research. Mythical and fictitious weavers, mythology, medieval art and textile history are some of the sources that inform his work. In practice, he has mastered the traditional techniques of Gobelins tapestry. He uses this technical language, unique to tapestry, fluently; structuring works in which textile references create an allegory of intimate and nuanced allusions to female characters from myth, religion and history. Though steeped in historical references the narratives woven into his tapestries draw us into conversations about contemporary issues such as gender dynamics, disciplinary knowledge and the importance of historical practice in contemporary art. RCA members represent all parts of Canada: coast-to-coast-to-coast, and include well-known filmmakers, architects, and studio artists working in all artistic media.

StFX STUDENTS ATTRACT NOBEL LAUREATE, NASA ENGINEER, WOLF PRIZE AND HERZBERG MEDAL WINNER AS KEYNOTE SPEAKERS AT 2020 STUDENT-LED PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY CONFERENCE StFX physics students organizing the 2020 Atlantic Undergraduate Physics and Astronomy Conference (AUPAC) attracted a roster of distinguished speakers, including: 2018 Nobel Prize winner Donna Strickland; NASA engineer and advocate for diversity and inclusion in science, Renee Horton; StFX alumnus Allan H. MacDonald, winner of the Wolf Prize and the Herzberg Medal; and Dalhousie University professor Jesse Maassen, to deliver keynote lectures at the undergraduate research conference. StFX students and conference co-chairs Dean Eaton and Bryan Canam led the organizing efforts along with fellow conference committee members Thomas Hujon and Noah Tessema. The conference attracted over 100 participants from universities across Atlantic Canada and elsewhere, with 32 students presenting their research work in areas as diverse as particle physics and cosmology to atomic and solid state physics. The StFX student organizers say they started planning the conference in February 2018, and that almost every senior student in the physics department was involved in its organization. They were also successful in securing sponsors, including their proposal to StFX’s Frank McKenna Centre for Leadership for help in sponsoring the keynote speakers. Dr. Stirckland won the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 for developing chirped pulse amplification with Gérard Mourou, her PhD supervisor at the time. They published this Nobel-winning research in 1985 when Strickland was a PhD student at the University of Rochester in New York state. Together they paved the way toward the most intense laser pulses ever created. The research has several applications today in industry and medicine — including the cutting of a patient’s cornea in laser eye surgery, and the machining of small glass parts for use in cell phones. Dr. K. Renee Horton serves as a NASA Space Launch System (SLS) Quality Engineer at Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans. Throughout her academic career, she has received numerous accolades and awards including the Black Engineer of the Year Trailblazer Award in 2011. She is an advocate for diversity and inclusion in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and is a member of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) Women in Physics Working Group. Dr. Allan H. MacDonald, a graduate of StFX is a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, where he holds the Sid W. Richardson Chair in Physics. Professor MacDonald’s contributions to the theory of condensed matter physics have spanned many topics, including electronic structure theory, the quantum Hall effect, magnetism, and superconductivity. He was awarded the Herzberg Medal (1987), the Buckley Prize in Condensed Matter Physics (2007), and the Ernst Mach Honorary Medal (2012) and received the 2020 Wolf Prize in Physics for his ground-breaking work in a field known as twistronics. Dr. Jesse Maassen is an assistant professor of physics at Dalhousie University focusing on exploring novel materials and devices, using predictive first-principles modeling, with an emphasis on electro-thermal transport.

RESEARCH RESOURCES $187,994 (24.4%) Maintaining access to up-to-date information resources is a critical component in StFX’s ability to attract and retain high quality researchers. Modern researchers continue to look for information to be readily available at their desktops. The Research Support Fund grant at StFX has been used to help defray costs related to acquisition of library resources, including the purchase of books and paper journals as well as the leasing of electronic journals and databases, all of which are crucial components of our research platform. With RSF support, StFX is able to continue to experiment with new electronic library resources that serve evolving research needs. In total we have directed approximately one quarter of the Research Support Fund grant allocation towards supporting these Research Resources. This support provides the University with research resources that serve as incentives in recruiting and retaining active faculty researchers, particularly within an increasingly competitive research marketplace. Our ongoing research activities continue to place additional demands on library resources, the costs of which are ever increasing due to external market forces. StFX also participates in consortia for research information purchase/leasing arrangements, which helps to level the information access playing field with respect to larger institutions and reduce total costs of research resources. The leveraging of these information resources is part of an overall package we strive to provide for our researching faculty members in carrying out their research activities. The availability and access to information resources permit our researchers the opportunity to focus more on the research at hand and free them from other information coordination tasks that would take time away from their primary research activities. Without the support of the Research Support Fund it would be more difficult for researchers to access essential information and conduct their research work.
MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION $247,320 (32.1%) Providing access to efficient research management and administration support is another critical component in StFX’s overall ability to attract and retain high-quality researchers. Enhancing the quality of our research-related administration service standards while simultaneously addressing increasing research funding compliance requirements is making research administration more challenging and complex. The demands of broad research management and administration requirements at a small university like StFX continually challenge us to continually strive to improve our overall research administration efforts within a framework of limited resources. As part of this, we continue to support the maintenance of our research grant, contract and certification tracking platforms. StFX invests a portion of RSF in an annual license for the ROMEO software package that staff use to track research applications and link certification requirements (e.g. Research Ethics Board and Animal Care Committee approvals). This reduces the administrative burden placed upon the researchers while enhancing the institution’s ability to ensure that the many administrative functions related to research are being addressed. We have expanded our use of ROMEO in 2019-20 with the addition of the researcher portal, at additional cost to the institution, in an effort to create efficiencies in research facilitation, management and administration. Improvements in processes and procedures related to the administration of research grants enhance the ability of our research-focused administrative personnel to support our research faculty members. With approximately one third of the Research Support Fund grant allocated towards the management and administration of research the RSF has helped us provide stronger administrative support for our overall research enterprise. Funding is also directed towards research administrative staff training. Had we not made the investments in research management and administration, it would not have been possible for us to maintain our administrative support to StFX’s researchers.
