Dr. Henry Yu has held two SSHRC Standard Research Grants (now known as the Insight Grant): one with Peter Ward that created a digital database of the 97,123 records of the General Register of Chinese immigration (1885-1949) for research and public history purposes; and a second on The Rise and Fall of Pacific Canada (2010-2013) that reexamines the history of engagements between trans-Pacific migrants, trans-Atlantic migrants, and First Nations and aboriginal peoples in Canada. He is also the Principal Investigator for a Partnership Engage Grant (2018-2020) between UBC and the City of Vancouver’s Chinatown Transformation Team. Dr. Yu and his team used this project and others to impact public policy and public education. They worked carefully to build upon existing collaborations as well as create new relationships with community partners both locally in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and across Canada. As Project Lead, Dr. Yu was responsible for supervising a group of over a dozen undergraduate and graduate students at UBC who conducted research, recorded and collected oral interviews, assessed and translated material in three different languages, and worked alongside both academic and community partners. He also oversaw the community consultation process, organizing multiple workshops to engage with community leaders and librarians, as well as specialists in the use of digital tools for the creation and distribution of new knowledge.
余全毅博士获得过两项加拿大社会科学与人文研究理事会（SSHRC）资助项目：一项是与Peter Ward合作，创建了包含97123条记录关于1885-1949期间中国移民登记信息的电子数据库。另一项目是 “加拿大太平洋地区的兴衰”（2010-2013），重新审视了加拿大跨太平洋移民、跨大西洋移民与原住民之间的交往历史。他也是不列颠哥伦比亚大学与温哥华唐人街改造合作资助项目（2018-2020）的负责人，该项目旨在为温哥华市制定唐人街文化遗产管理计划进行支持性研究。通过这些研究项目，余博士和他的团队影响着当地公共政策和公共教育。除了与现有伙伴保持良好合作关系，他和团队还在温哥华市及周边（低陆平原地区）与加拿大其他城市的社区建立了广泛的合作网络。作为项目负责人，余博士指导十来名本科生和研究生的科研工作，包括开展研究、记录和收集访谈资料，评估和翻译多种语言的材料，与学术界和社区伙伴合作等等。他也监督社区咨询过程，组织了多个研讨会与社区领袖、图书管理员以及使用数字工具的专家合作进行新知识的创造和传播。
