Tri-Agency Agreement

Eligible compensation expenses for Tri-Agency grants include scholarships and salaries. A scholarship is financial support granted to a recipient of a training award or provided by a scholarship holder to an apprentice to help them work on their research work and/or gain research experience. A salary is remuneration for work performed by research staff that contributes to the direct costs of the research for which funds have been awarded in accordance with institutional employment contracts or, where applicable, collective agreements. The roles and responsibilities of the agencies are described in the Agreement on the Management of Agency Grants and Awards by Research Institutions, in the documentation on programs and funding opportunities, and in the agreements of relevant organizations. Below is an overview of the tasks and responsibilities of agencies: “Fees” refers to monetary payments made once or not regularly to a person as a “thank you” for a service for which no fees are traditionally paid (for example. B, speeches, lectures, seminars, etc. by a guest speaker/speaker). Fellows cannot receive fees from Tri-Agency grants. Both the beneficiary and the managing body shall be responsible for ensuring the eligibility of expenditure. Unless otherwise specified in the program or funding documentation and in any agency agreement, fellows may deviate from the proposed research or activities. They are not required to strictly adhere to the financial allocation specified in the application as long as they use their grant for the general purposes for which it was originally awarded. Salary: Remuneration for work performed by individuals that contributes to the direct costs of the research for which the funds have been awarded, where applicable in accordance with institutional employment contracts or collective agreements. This CPR framework describes the Agency`s strategies and requirements for the application and management of Agency funds, the conduct of research and the dissemination of results, as well as the processes followed by institutions and organizations in the event of an allegation of non-compliance with Agency policy.

The provisions of this CPR framework are subject to the specific conditions of each funding agreement and the agreement on the management of grants and awards by research organisations (the agreement) between the agencies and each institution. Organizations consider a leave to be a time when the recipient`s employer allows the recipient to take time off from his or her regular duties and responsibilities so that he or she can focus on his or her research, career, personal or professional development while continuing to be employed by the administrative organization. The organizations recognize that occupational requirements and expectations regarding the location, duration and scope of such leave are governed by institutional guidelines and/or collective agreements. This guide applies to CIHR, NSERC and/or SSHRC grants, unless otherwise specified in the program and funding opportunity documentation and in all relevant agency agreements, including the terms and conditions of the grant. Wage benefits: employment-related benefits that are required by law (e.B. Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance, etc.) and/or through employment policies, collective agreements, etc. of administrative institutions. (such as, but not limited to, health and dental insurance, etc.). Further eligibility criteria shall be set out in the documentation on programmes and funding opportunities and, where appropriate, in the relevant agency agreements.

A secondary managing entity may then transfer some or all of the transferred funds to an eligible member of the grant team of another entity (third management entity) if the lead managing entity so permits in the agreement between the lead managing entity and the secondary management entity. Therefore, when transferring all or part of a beneficiary`s funds, the secondary management body must ensure that there is an agreement with the tertiary managed entity on the management of the deferred funds. .
