Research and International Relations is pleased to announce that the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) has returned to the James Administration Building, as of Monday, May 13, 2013.
Due to extensive flooding in the James Building in February, º«¹úÂãÎè temporarily relocated OSR staff off campus. Thank you for your support, patience, and flexibility during the period while we were displaced.
As previously communicated, the Tri-Agency (NSERC, SSHRC and CIHR) conducted a financial monitoring review at º«¹úÂãÎè in 2010 that now requires us to address significant concerns pertaining to the management of grant funds – more specifically, elements of º«¹úÂãÎè’s control framework for the administration of grant funds. A Steering Committee and Advisory Committee at º«¹úÂãÎè were created to direct and validate solutions proposed by the Tri-Agency Response Implementation Group (TRIG) to address the Tri-Agency recommendations.
