Policies + Procedures

For institute-level signatures on UBC Research Project Information Forms (RPIFs), a minimum of two business days’ notice is required all Tri-Council Grants and three business days’ notice is required for all other types of grants. The RPIF should be accompanied by the following items:

• Full grant proposal; and
• Project budget (draft versions are acceptable).

Email your documents to Rebecca.Friesen@phsa.ca  and copy Lori.Brotto@cw.bc.ca .

For letters of support or collaboration, please engage a core team member (e.g. Kathryn Dewar, Nicole Prestley) a minimum of two-weeks prior to the internal deadline. The request should include draft content/proposal, indicate whether WHRI research services are being requested, and if so, whether the services will be funded via cost recovery or in-kind.

Visit the Our Services page for a comprehensive list of services offered and available to the WHRI community. 

Reach out to our range of skilled research staff directly for questions related to support:

• Grant Development
• Digital Health Research
• Find the tabs related to Statistical, Knowledge Translation, Research Lab and general research support (staff, database design, ethics).

University of British Columbia Research Project Information Forms (UBC RPIF)

For UBC faculty, please note that it is standard practice to attribute a certain percentage of indirect costs on the UBC RPIF to the relevant research institute(s) who are providing support. Given that you will be accessing WHRI support services as part of the current project (e.g., grant facilitation, statistics or qualitative support, KT support, or others), please use the RPIF section beginning “Indicate main institutions…” to allocate a percentage to the WHRI.

When determining the percentage, consider the following:

1. the location of the proposed activities,
2. the amount of WHRI staff or service support in the project,
3. the amount of in-kind support being requested.

Importantly, you can attribute percentages across more than one research institute. For questions, please reach out to KDewar@cw.bc.ca.
