Regular Member

The status of Regular Member is defined by FRQNT as a faculty member in a Quebec university whose work aligns with the mandate of a research cluster at 50% or higher. Regular Members formally confirm their participation in a cluster with the FRQNT and their CCVs are considered when the centre is evaluated.

Regular Members and their students are:

• welcomed to use any infrastructure supported by CRBLM
• eligible to apply for centre-funded initiatives
• encouraged to participate in the development of our community by
  • attending, proposing or organizing events
  • sharing skills through workshops or tutorials
  • serving as a reviewer for the funding applications

Regular Members are asked to:

• upload a CCV and confirm participation in the centre, at the time of our midterm review and when the centre applies for a fund renewal
• submit yearly annual report
• update their list of students and post-doc
• include CRBLM in affiliations and acknowledgements in publications, presentations and media interviews when they use centre-supported labs or personnel, or when they receive funding through our annual funding activities

Collaborating Member

Faculty members and visiting researchers whose primary affiliation is with another research centre, within or outside of Quebec, have a status of Collaborating Member. They participate in centre activities but are ineligible for funding.

If you satisfy the following criteria, you are automatically considered a CRBLM Student Member:

• supervised or co-supervised by a CRBLM Regular Member (see directory)
• registered in a Quebec university as a masters or doctoral student; or have a post-doctoral fellowship
