Exclusions:
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.

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 co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
