Research and Innovation at BCIT.

The primary stakeholder is Dr. Francine Shah – Head of Research and Innovation at BCIT. She wants to
offer UP TO a $250,000.00 grant to help fund your innovative idea within your community. The
secondary stakeholders you will need to consider will be anyone affected by your idea (coworkers, the
public). Be mindful that you choose something reasonable and within that price-range.
Your task will be to write a formal, investigative research report and deliver a persuasive presentation
(same topic but two different communication mediums) in which you convince your audience(s) your idea
deserves the grant.
The project will begin in Week 7 by identifying and receiving approval on your topic, followed by two
sub-assignments: Research and citation checklist AND a work plan
