This category of membership of the Centre is designed to recognize strong collaborative relationships with researchers who may be located at the University of Victoria or on other Canadian campuses who are not in residence at the CARBC office. The process of acquiring CARBC Collaborating Scientist status involves nomination by a CARBC Scientist, completion of an application form, and a statement indicating support for the mission and values of the Centre. Applications are discussed and voted on at meetings of the CARBC faculty.
