4 What is the Tri-Agency? The Tri-Agencies are a major source of research funding for post-secondary institutions in Canada Promote and fund research and research training to eligible institutions in Canada Made up of three federal government agencies: o CIHR o NSERC o SSHRC
5 CIHR is Canada s federal funding agency for health research Mandate: excel in the creation of new knowledge and its translation into improved health for Canadians, more effective health services and products and a strengthened Canadian health care system Designed to respond to the evolving needs for health research

8 Is the university eligible to receive Tri-Agency funding?
9 Institutional eligibility The university signs an Agreement on the Administration of Agency Grants and Awards by Research Institutions. This Agreement sets out the basic requirements for obtaining and maintaining institutional eligibility to administer research funds. Note: Institutional eligibility requirements can be found at
10 Why is the Tri-Agency important?
11 Why is the Tri-Agency important?

12 Risks of non-compliance Reputational Risk Damage to the university s reputation through negative national press coverage Compliance Risk Cease payments made from any university funds and declare the university ineligible Financial Risk Significant financial loss due to the termination of funding and the possibility to repay. Adverse effects on the allocations for Federal Indirect Costs Program and Canada Research Chair Program
13 Risks of non-compliance Strategic risk Implications to IP3 Promise and Potential knowledge creation, innovation and impact o Objective of meeting international standards o Tri-Agency success requires compliance o College/department coordination and oversight is key o Research engagement is essential if not critical Culture and Community o Importance of stewardship (transparency, accountability, effective management)
14 Tri-Agency Monitoring Visits
15 Monitoring Visits Do we comply? Agreement states Tri-Agencies will conduct monitoring visits. Verifies compliance (note: no materiality) 2012 Final Report that the university s management control framework for the administration of grant and award funds from the agencies was not satisfactory.
16 Monitoring Visit Issues Researchers are not authorizing every transaction. This can be delegated in writing. 2. The university must review and approve all expenditures charged to a research project. 3. All expenditures must be supported by the required documents including the appropriate justification 4. Grant holders must not have access to full annual amount of awarded funds until all ethics certifications are obtained
17 Transaction types excluded This slide has been inserted as questions will arise from the next few slides. We want to keep the discussion to involve what is the current state. As of March 2014 internal sales are not involved o Campus Computer Store, Bookstore, college stores, etc. o There is work underway to enhance these processes
18 Monitoring Visit Issues Researchers are not authorizing every transaction. This can be delegated in writing. The signature certifies that: o All expenditures are for the purpose for which the grant was awarded o The charges have not been claimed from other sources
19 Monitoring Visit Issues The university must review and approve all expenditures charged to a research project. The authorization of an expenses and the approval of an expenses must be performed independently from one another. The approval must occur before payment is made. The approval certifies that expenditures are: Eligible against the specific research grant In compliance with the Tri-Agencies use of grant funds requirements
20 Monitoring Visit Issues All expenditures must be supported by the required documents including the appropriate justification Written Justification Issue Cited numerous times for written justification not provided on how the expenditure directly relates to the research grant
21 The Rubber Boots Clothing is not an eligible expense Rubber boots are needed to collect samples, thus is a direct cost of research Justification statement is required as to why the boots are a direct cost of research
22 Supporting documentation issues: Most common deficiencies include: Conference related travel Prospectus/program not part of the claim General office supplies No justification why these are a direct cost of research Computer / electronic communication devices Missing justification most common purpose give for research which is not sufficient
23 Monitoring Visit Issues Grant holders must not have access to full annual amount of awarded funds until all ethics certifications are obtained Access to Funds The university may not release funds to the grant holder until REB approval has been received In some instances, funds may be released on a prorated bases for non-ethics related research work

26 What is going to change? Business processes enhancements Standardized paper-based forms and processes System-based changes Implementation of a Research Admin Network Regular sharing of information that focuses on supporting researchers Why?
