Grants/Contracts Administration Form
In order to notify TRU that you are engaged in funded research that will require administration, you need to complete the Grants Submission or Research Agreement Submission Form.
This form must be completed for all research that involves any kind of funding and takes place under the umbrella of your work at Thompson Rivers University. The completion of this form will create a research file from which you can collaborate with administrators, co-investigators and research assistants. You can share and review documents, apply for certifications, and arrange to receive notifications and reminders for reporting deadlines and certification renewals.
