Academic Grant Policy
Policy Statements
It is the policy of Clearflow to ensure that a contribution towards an organization’s indirect/overhead costs are part of any research agreement for the period covered by their contribution agreement. This policy is applicable to all research agreements with Clearflow.
Effective Date
The version of this current policy is effective starting Sept 1, 2020. This policy applies to all new contribution agreements that commence on or after September 1, 2020. This policy will be reviewed five years after the implementation date and periodically thereafter.
Scope
This document details Clearflows policy regarding the compensation of indirect/overhead costs incurred by Canadian Universities and Colleges carrying out research projects subject to a contribution agreement with Clearflow.
Overhead Compensation Rate
5.1 For non-Tri-agency grants, a maximum fixed overhead compensation rate of 15%, applicable to Clearflows contribution towards the direct program/project costs eligible for the application of the overhead compensation rate OR the Universities/Colleges stated policy overhead compensation rate, whichever is lower.
5.2 For Tri-Agency grants (i.e., SSHRC, NSERC, and CIHR). It is recognized that the Canadian federal government directly support the indirect costs of research funded by the National Granting Councils (Tri-Agencies) and Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) through the federal Research Support Fund grant. Canadian universities receive an annual grant to contribute towards their indirect costs of research based on the average level of funding over the previous three years from those sources (averaging 22-25% of total funding). Under this program, it is deemed that the University/College already receives overhead. Therefore, for eligible Tri-agency grants covered by the Research Support Fund, the overhead rate on Clearflow contributions shall be 0%. Indirect costs should not be included in individual grant applications to the Tri-Agencies programs that are covered under the Research support fund.
