Project Set-up & Administration

The Nursing Senior Research Advisor will liaise with the UCalgary Research Services and Research Accounting offices on your behalf, including assistance with completing a new Project Request Form (if applicable). 

Please forward the NOA/LOA to the Senior Research Advisor with a request to set-up your new project.

A PRF is used to request that a new project account be set-up to administer your funding award.

A PRF is required only if your grant application was not processed through the University’s Research Services Office (RSO) - which is generally the case for internal awards.

For projects requiring a PRF, please send the completed and signed form to the Nursing Senior Research Advisor who will obtain the Faculty signature and forward the PRF and supporting documents to RSO on your behalf.

Review the HR documents below for definitions of appointment types and information about benefits, vacation and special leave entitlements.

• Research staff
• Graduate students

Excellent information on hiring, onboarding, and offboarding is found on this Faculty of Nursing Intranet site.

UCalgary HR hiring guidance can be found here. 

Requirements depend on the funding agency. It is the responsibility of the project holder to contact the agency to request an extension. 

For internal grants, please contact the Nursing Senior Research Advisor.

For external grants, once official approval from an agency is received, please forward it to the Research Services Office.

The Legal & IP team in the Research Services Office oversees the creation and review of research agreements for researchers in the Faculty of Nursing. 

The Legal & IP team ensures all agreements accurately reflects the terms of the relationship and that they meet the requirements of the researchers, students, University, and sponsors involved in the research project. Their review also ensures each specific research project complies with University policies.
