Research Unit Resources

Conditions of Award

Awards are subject to conditions stipulated by the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research. Compliance with these conditions is mandatory for MSFHR's continued support of the award.

The Conditions of Award for the 2006/07 Research Unit awards are available in the Download Centre. Award Recipients should always refer to the version of the Conditions of Award that was valid in the year they were funded; contact the Infrastructure Program for copies of earlier versions.

Eligible Expenses

MSFHR Infrastructure Program funds must be used for shared infrastructure that supports the planning and implementation of health research, its dissemination and translation, and/or the research training environment.

Funds should be used to support shared resources that benefit multiple researchers rather than individuals.  Funds should be used effectively and efficiently, and should not be used to fund items that would normally be funded by a host institution.

Award recipients may seek approval to fund items not included on published lists of eligible expenses, and/or items not included in the original funding proposal, so long as those items comply with the principles above.

MSFHR reserves the right to withhold approval of expenses that do not satisfy the principles above, and to seek reimbursement for funds used for ineligible expense items.

The list of eligible expenses is available in the Download Centre.
