The BCFHRC fosters an environment that supports research endeavors, particularly those involving interdisciplinary collaboration with the Program in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) at the University of British Columbia. During the past few years there have been several steps taken to develop a strong research base at BCFHRS.
