Revisions
2017/18: University Research Centres and Institutes now report to the Vice-President, Research; accordingly research awards previously attributed to these entities have been moved to the Office of Research (included under “Other”). Previous years have also been revised.
2018/19: Tri-agency has been reclassified into 3 categories, Tri-Agencies (NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR), TIPS (Tri-agency Institutional Programs Secretariat) and Tri-Agency Other. This has been necessary to accommodate the increasing number of Tri-Agency programs that are not funded directly from one of the three original agencies (i.e. NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR). A number of other minor changes have been made as part of this exercise to move sponsors to the correct category.
• UW – SSHRC has been moved from Tri-Agency to Tri-Agencies SSHRC
• CERC, CFREF, CRC and Research Support Fund (RSF) has been moved from Federal (excluding Tri-Agency) to Tri-Agency TIPS.
