The Research Support Fund (RSF) assists Canadian postsecondary institutions with the expenses associated with managing the research funded by the three federal research granting agencies:
- Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)
- Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC)
- Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
The RSF grant is critical to the success of the University’s research undertakings. In 2023-24 the RSF grant was used to invest in a number of research expenditure categories including:
- Research software
- Renovation and maintenance of research facilities and equipment
- Library service
- Research financial services
- Research support
