Indirect Costs of Research
The direct costs of performing the research are usually well understood, but there are many other significant costs involved in research that are not immediately obvious, nor can they always be attributed to a specific research project. Nonetheless they are real costs and are incurred by the University for all research activities. These additional, non project specific costs are known as, indirect costs.
University of Guelph Research Grant Agreement
The University of Guelph Research Grant Agreement may be used with any research sponsor who does not seek the right to restrict or delay the dissemination of the results of the research; does not seek any rights to intellectual property resulting from the research; and does not seek a warranty with respect to a standard of performance. Sponsors must agree to the research grant agreement terms “as is”. If a research sponsor wishes to negotiate terms appearing in the University of Guelph Research Grant Agreement, a Collaborative Research Agreement will be required. Researchers leveraging grant funds should contact Research Services Office in advance to obtain an agreement template specific to the program and the needs of the research project.
University of Guelph Collaborative Research Agreement
The University of Guelph Collaborative Research Agreement is used for sponsored research which, i) is of mutual interest and benefit to the Principal Investigator (PI) and sponsor, ii) has been defined (the scope and allocation of funds) primarily by the PI, iii) is expected to lead to scientific knowledge or scholarly findings, and iv) the sponsor seeks to be governed by agreement terms that deviate from the three key elements of a Research Grant. Researchers leveraging contract funds should contact Research Services Office in advance to obtain an agreement template specific to the program and the needs of the research project.
Canadian Common CV
The CCV is a web-based application that provides researchers with a single, common approach to gathering CV information required by a network of federal, provincial and not-for-profit research funding organizations.
All of the Tri-Councils (CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC) have migrated (or are in the process of migrating) their legacy CV systems to the new Canadian Common CV (CCV).
