Notional grant amounts for the Research Support Fund (including the
Incremental Project Grants and
research security) are
calculated annually
based on the funding (or credits) that institutions received from the three
federal granting agencies—the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the
Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Social Sciences
and Humanities Research Council—during the three previous fiscal years, and
according to the coming fiscal year’s Research Support Fund budget.
Institutions that have been notified of their eligibility by the Tri-agency
Institutional Programs Secretariat (TIPS) must apply to the program by the
application deadline in order
to receive their grant. Failure to submit all application forms and to
fulfill the
accountability and public acknowledgement requirements
(as applicable) by the deadline will result in the
forfeiture of grant funds for that fiscal year.

Note: Notional grant amounts are preliminary.
Inaccuracies in the data on the basis of the calculation of credits for
Research Support Fund grants are sometimes identified after the grant
amounts have been announced. These inaccuracies typically involve only a
small number of institutions, representing less than ± 2% of any
institution’s grant. The grant amounts will be confirmed in October of the
award’s fiscal year, after any required adjustments have been made to the
credit base of individual institutions.
