<p>Every year, the Government of Canada invests in research excellence in the areas of health sciences, engineering, natural sciences, social sciences and humanities through its three granting agencies: Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The <strong><a href="https://www.rsf-fsr.gc.ca/about-au_sujet/index-eng.aspx" target="_blank">Research Support Fund</a></strong> (RSF) reinforces this research investment by helping institutions ensure that their federally funded research projects are conducted in world-class facilities with the best equipment and administrative support available. </p> <p>Eligible institutions receive an annual grant through the RSF to help pay for a portion of the central and departmental administrative costs related to federally funded research, also known as the <strong>indirect costs</strong> of research. These are the operational costs that underpin the university's research activities which are not attributable to specific research projects. Examples of such costs include, but are not limited to, heating, lighting, ethics reviews, facilities for animals used in research, management of intellectual property, environmental assessment and safety compliance <strong><a href="https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/InterAgency-Interorganismes/TAFA-AFTO/guide-guide_eng.asp#39" target="_blank"><sup>1</sup></a></strong>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="component accordion-module white"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12"> <div class="panel-group" id="accordion-1716405224" role="tablist" aria-multiselectable="true"> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading-allocation"> <a role="button" class="accordion-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#allocation" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="allocation"> <h3 class="panel-title"> Grant Allocation in 2024-2025 </h3> </a> </div> <div id="allocation" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading-allocation"> <div class="panel-body"> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Institutions have flexibility in deciding how to use their grant, provided that the funds are used for the payment of current expenditures of indirect costs attributed to federally sponsored research that falls within the following <a href="https://www.rsf-fsr.gc.ca/administer-administrer/expenditures-depenses-eng.aspx#facilities" target="_blank">five categories</a>:</span></span></p> <ol> <li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Research facilities; </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Research resources; </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Management and administration of an institution's research enterprise; </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Regulatory requirements and accreditation; and </span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Intellectual property and Knowledge mobilization. </span></span></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The amount of Laurentian University’s grant is calculated using an algorithm based on the amount of funding awarded in the previous fiscal year by federal granting agencies to Laurentian University and affiliated researchers.
