Project Creation and Maintenance

 

Project Maintenance will process the project request form once it has been reviewed and approved by Research Services. Project holders will receive an email notification once the project set up is complete.

To delegate and/or provide eFIN viewing access to other team members, a project delegation will be required

Refer to the Guidelines for Research Funding for further information on who can be a Project Holder.

Research Grants or Contracts

Once a research grant has been awarded, or an industry contract has been signed, a project request form will be required to create a new project. Research Services initiates the project request form for grants and contracts through the Research Services office. For external awards not managed through the Research Services office, a project request form must be completed. Research Services can help identify if a project needs a request form.

Project request forms are not required for awards provided by major sponsors with established administrative arrangements with the university. These projects are set-up upon receipt of the sponsor's notice of award, and if all necessary certifications are in place (i.e. Tri Council Awards).

To facilitate the set up of a new project, please ensure following information is provided:

  • Completed project request form
  • A detailed budget
  • All signatures
