Saint Mary's University is the leading primarily undergraduate research university in the Atlantic provinces. A small institution with a global impact where innovative ideas and strategic research alliances drive solutions for today's challenges.

Research at Saint Mary's University thrives through curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to making a difference.

The Research Office, led by the Associate Vice-President of Research and Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR), supports more than 100 researchers in securing and managing funding to advance their scholarly goals. We work with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, and students to help transform ideas into meaningful discoveries that address societal challenges.

Through partnerships with government, industry, community organizations, non-profits, and international collaborators, our researchers are addressing complex challenges and creating positive change locally and globally.

The Office of Innovation and Community Engagement (OICE) strengthens connections between university expertise and community priorities. By fostering collaborative partnerships and knowledge exchange, OICE helps ensure that research reaches beyond academia to create lasting benefits for communities, organizations, and society.

Together, we are advancing discovery, innovation, and positive change in our communities and beyond.
