====================================================================================
As you know public expectations in managing research funding are higher than ever. Our stakeholders and research sponsors continue to increase their demands for transparency, accountability, and oversight. In March 2009 the Canadian Institute of Health Research, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (collectively the Tri-Council) presented specific concerns to the University that they have as a consequence of the monitoring visit conducted in November 2008.
In response to the Tri-Council report, The Office of the Vice President of Research will be organizing a Research Accountability Workshop. The comments and recommendations of the UofT Tri-Council report will be reviewed and discussed. Other information and topics to be presented and discussed include (i) Specific transactions and scenarios; (ii) The roles and responsibilities of PIs, Chairs, Business Officers and others; and (iii) Oversight and accountability certifications.
The workshop has been scheduled for March 25th, 2010 from 12pm to 2pm in Governing Council Chambers. We hope that this session will be helpful to you and the University of Toronto Research enterprise.
