Full Cost of Research Policy in effect May 1, 2024, information sessions

The University of Guelph is implementing the Full Cost of Research Policy, which revises and replaces the current Indirect Cost of Research Policy.

The purpose of this revised policy is to raise awareness of true cost of research and, through its implementation, support more sustainable fiscal management at the University.

The Policy will come into effect on May 1, 2024 and the Research Services Office (RSO) is preparing resources for our research community to ensure a smooth transition, including two virtual information sessions:
