Costs covered
Eligible institutions receive an annual grant through the RSF to help offset the central and departmental administrative costs related to federally funded research. These indirect costs of conducting research, such as expenditures outside the direct project costs and items expensed from university operating budgets, can present financial challenges to an institution. The RSF alleviates these challenges by funding items such as:
Salaries for staff or students who provide administrative support for researchers and their projects
Training costs for workplace health and safety
Costs related to the maintenance of libraries and laboratories
