The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) has announced the appointment of Dr. Katherine Schultz to the CRKN Advisory Board for a three-year term commencing October 12, 2007. The Advisory Board is a panel of distinguished experts drawn from CRKN's external stakeholder communities, and it plays a key role in advising the Board of Directors on emerging trends, strategic planning and program development.
Dr. Schultz is Vice-President, Research & Development at UPEI. She received her PhD in 1983 from the University of Manitoba in Psychology, specializing in Behavioural Neuroscience. She served as Associate Vice-President, Research & Graduate Studies at the University of Winnipeg from 1994 to 2001, and subsequently as Vice-President Research & Development, University of Prince Edward Island. In her service in both capacities Dr. Schultz achieved considerable growth in her institutions' research portfolios. At UPEI she has assisted in achieving an increase of over 600% in research funding, including support for a Canada Foundation for Innovation project which involves the development of a virtual research environment serving both interactive and archival functions for multimedia information.
Dr. Schultz has been a member of the National Research Council's Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (CISTI) advisory panel since 2002. As a CRKN Advisory Board member, Dr. Schultz will contribute the perspective of a smaller, research intensive university with diverse information needs - from music performance to veterinary medicine.
"Dr. Schultz brings to the Advisory Board of CKRN considerable experience as a senior research administrator and significant involvement in some of the major research initiatives in Canada," remarked Ronald Bond, Provost Emeritus, University of Calgary, and Chair of the CRKN Advisory Board. "I am delighted to welcome her to the Advisory Board."
