What is the Research Support Fund?<\/h2>\n

Indirect costs are the hidden costs of conducting research that are borne by an institution. These costs may include salaries of staff dedicated to administration and\u00a0support, training for health and safety, maintenance of libraries, laboratories and office space (including custodial services, internet access and furnishings) as well as development of research infrastructure such as Intellectual Property policies and Research Ethics Boards. The Research Support Fund assists Canadian postsecondary institutions and their affiliated research hospitals and institutes with the expenses associated with managing the research funded by the three federal research granting agencies. The Government of Canada allocates a portion of research grants from federal agencies received by researchers to their home institutions each year.<\/p>\n

Impact of\u00a0Federal Investment in Research Support<\/h2>\n

The support from the Research Support Fund allows Dawson College to deliver excellent research administration to our research community and provides support for facilities and resources. The College has been able to make strategic decisions that support long-term improvement to the research ecosystem. This enables us to attract and retain talented teacher-researchers, develop extensive partnerships and collaborations, and to support student involvement in research across the college.<\/p>\n

The federal grant defrays a portion of the salary of the research coordinator and administrative assistant who provide pre-and post-award support for researchers. These staff help researchers write strong grant applications and provide the tools they need to manage their research dollars. This allows our researchers to focus their efforts on research rather than on administrative concerns. This resulted in nine new grants awarded this year.<\/p>\n
