As you may be aware, the University of Guelph is moving forward with the Full Cost of Research Initiative. The purpose of the Initiative is to:

• Ensure there is a comprehensive internal understanding of the full costs of research at U of G and to foster a shared understanding of the rationale and impetus for policy and process change related to the full costs of research.
• Implement enhancements to the Indirect Costs of Research Policy and its related processes, procedures and systems.
• Develop and disseminate educational communication materials about the full cost of research to key internal and external stakeholders as well as the broader U of G community.

To help the project forward, the Full Cost of Research Advisory Committee invites feedback at this time to better understand our stakeholders' experience with cost recovery on research projects. The information you provide will be used to evaluate current processes and will aid in the development of tools, communication materials and supporting documentation to facilitate a more seamless experience for all. 

Please take a few moments to complete the Full Cost of Research Survey.

Thank you in advance for contributing your views of and experience with cost recovery. Together we are building a stronger research enterprise at the University of Guelph.

If you have any questions about the survey or the Initiative, feel free to contact Danielle Olivier at dolivier@uoguelph.ca
