Indicators of research excellence

Both traditional and non-traditional research indicators are used to describe research intensity. Below is an overview of the Faculty’s achievements over the past year, as well as some featured stories that go beyond these numbers.

Research Funding

2023-2024 External Funding Chart: value for fiscal year 2023-2024 is $7.9M
External research funding received by fiscal year (April-May) is derived from eAwards, excluding infrastructure and equipment funding and internal sponsor sources from the University of Ottawa. Data for fiscal year 2023(-2024) are incomplete.

Funding Stories

Professor Josée Lagacé (School of Rehabilitation Sciences) and members of her research team are currently conducting a study to better understand the hearing health of conference interpreters working on Parliament Hill. The results of this project will enable firmer conclusions about the risk of hearing damage in this working environment, which may lead to potential solutions to support hearing health for this group of professionals.

Professor Lara Pilutti (Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences) and her research team are one of nine recipients of an Innovations in Well-Being Award from the International Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Alliance. The funding will support a project to evaluate if brain priming combined with rehabilitation can improve cognitive and motor function in individuals living with progressive multiple sclerosis.
