Notional grant amounts for 2016-17


Research Support Fund grant calculations for the 2016-17 fiscal year have been completed and the notional grant amounts are listed below. The value of these grants is based on the funding (or credits) that institutions received from the three federal granting agencies (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) during the 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2015-16 fiscal years, and according to the 2015-16 Research Support Fund budget of $341,403,000.

Institutions must apply for their Research Support Fund grant prior to the deadline of May 25, 2016. Failure to submit both application forms and to fulfil the accountability and public acknowledgement requirements (as applicable) by the deadline will result in the forfeiture of grant funds for that fiscal year.
