Document background
The Research Grant Agreement is a crucial document used in Canadian research funding arrangements to formalize the relationship between funding providers and research institutions. It is typically required when government agencies, private foundations, or other organizations provide financial support for research activities at universities, research institutions, or other eligible organizations. The agreement must comply with Canadian federal and provincial regulations, including research ethics guidelines, tax laws, and privacy requirements. It outlines key aspects such as funding amounts, research objectives, reporting requirements, and intellectual property rights. This document is essential for ensuring transparency, accountability, and proper management of research funds while protecting the interests of all parties involved in the research initiative.
