To comply with this new policy, applicants must undertake a two-step process prior to applying for a grant / funding. Applicants are encouraged to complete the steps below well in advance of the grant application submission, in consultation with their institution’s research grants office.
Principal investigators (PIs) applying to any federal research grant funding opportunity offered by NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR or to funding offered by the Canada Foundation for Innovation must review the list of Sensitive Technology Research Areas to determine if their proposed research will aim to advance any of the listed areas.
All researchers involved in the activities funded by a research grant advancing a sensitive technology research area must review the the list of Named Research Organizations. If a researcher is affiliated with, or in receipt of funding or in-kind support, from one or more of the institutions on the list of Named Research Organizations, they must terminate these connections in order for the federal grant application process to continue. Only currently held affiliations are of concern for this policy; past affiliations will not be considered. For example, if an undergraduate student has previously studied or worked at a listed institution but has since left the institution and maintains no formal obligation to return to being affiliated with the listed institution, then they are not currently affiliated to that institution and do not raise a concern with regards to this policy.
If a researcher chooses to continue to be affiliated with, or in receipt of funding or in-kind support, from a listed institution, the grant application will not be eligible for federal funding. The grant application process can only proceed if the connection to the listed institution is terminated, or if the researcher in question is no longer part of the grant application. Moreover, researchers affiliated with, or in receipt of funding or in-kind support, from a listed institution cannot join a project once the grant has been awarded, unless they terminate these connections prior to joining the project.
