Tri-Agency funding

Definition

University of Waterloo research awards from the three major granting agencies - the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)

Data Sources

Office of Research database (InfoEd)

Inclusions and Exclusions

Inclusions:

  • Research awards from the three major granting agencies - the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) in the last ten years
  • For multi-year awards, the budget allocated for the fiscal year is reported (not the entire award)

Exclusions:

  • Any research awards not administered through the University of Waterloo Office of Research (the Affiliated and Federated Institutions of Waterloo and non-academic units may choose to administer their awards directly)
  • Research awards from sponsors other than the Tri-Agencies
  • Canada Research Chair program funding

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. 
•    NCE has been moved from Federal (excluding Tri-Agency) to Tri-Agency Other.    
•    Canada 150 Chairs and New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) have been moved from Tri-Agency to Tri-Agency TIPS
•    CanmetMATERIALS has been moved from Tri-Agency to Federal (excluding Tri-Agency)
•    Thunder Bay Regional Research Institute has been moved from Federal (excluding Tri-Agency) to Provincial 
•    Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance has been moved from from Federal (excluding Tri-Agency) to Canadian Private Sector Industry
•    Canadian Ornamental Horticultural Alliance has been moved from Federal (excluding Tri-Agency) to Canadian Non-Profit Industry. 
•    FedDev has been moved from Provincial to Federal (excluding Tri-Agency). 
Previous years have also been revised.

2019/20: Sponsor type ‘Private Sector – Other’ has undergone a cleanup exercise. Previous years have also been revised. With this change you may notice shifts in funding from one sponsor type/grouping to another.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
