We salute Prof Simon Parker on his election to Ivey’s Research Policy Committee (RPC). An active and productive researcher, Simon’s enthusiasm and commitment will make him a valuable member of the committee. Simon will join RPC members Chris Higgins and Rob Klassen (elected faculty reps), Deb Compeau (PhD Program) and Paul Beamish (CELC rep).
The RPC provides advice and policy direction to the Associate Dean - Faculty Relations & Research at the Richard Ivey School of Business on matters related to faculty research and the communication and dissemination of research. In addition to policy advice the RPC is charged with: annual R&D proposal reviews; new case writing request reviews; annual review of CEL Centres; review of new requests for Centre designation or Research Unit; annual faculty research merit award allocations; and awarding and renewal of Faculty Fellowships/Professorships/Chairs.
