Grants and Contracts

This refers to enrolment driven government grants that flow to the University based on eligible enrolments.

These grants are attributed to the home Faculty using the same formula (or as close a formula as possible) that the government uses to fund the institution. Grant revenue for Inter-Faculty double majors will be split 50/50 between the Faculties and for major/minors, it will be split 70/30.

Grants in lieu of municipal taxation is a flow-through (grant = municipal taxation) except for international undergraduate and masters students, which is a cost to the Faculties.

Targeted grant revenue flows to shared service units or Faculties that have specific accountability for the grant. Examples of such grants include the Women’s Safety and the Disability grants which flow to the VP – Students; the Deferred Maintenance grant which flows to Campus Services; the Credit Transfer and the First Generation grants which flow to the P&VPA and the Deaf Education grant which flows to the Faculty of Education.

This refers to the Federal Research Overhead, the Provincial Research Overhead Infrastructure and the Research Contract Overhead, provided in support of research overhead at institutions.

The Federal Research Overhead and the Provincial Research Overhead Infrastructure flows to Faculties or Units of the principal investigator, and is attributed based on a 3-year rolling average of all Tri-Council grants, slipped two years. This is a similar formula to that through which the University receives these grants.

The Research Contract Overhead will flow to the Faculty or Unit of the principal investigator.
