Resources for Researchers
Research Funding
Financial support can take many forms, and come from several distinct sources or combinations of sources. Funding can be found internally - from programs maintained by the University - or externally, from government agencies or partners in the private sector. Funding may also come in a discretionary format, as general operating grants, or dedicated to specific purchases such as buying laboratory equipment.
Policies, Procedures & Guidelines
A comprehensive administrative structure deals with all aspects of research at the University of Ottawa, from the handling of initial grant applications to the submission of final project reports. Researchers should understand and abide by the defining set of policies, procedures, and guidelines, which are available on-line, along with links to related information from other prospective funding organizations.
Technology Transfer
Technology Transfer and Business Enterprise (TTBE), a University of Ottawa office dedicated to moving inventions from researchers to the private sector, has done just that for a number of innovative and promising projects. By bringing the research community together with the business community, members of TTBE have made this a valuable and convenient process for everyone involved.
