External grants
All external grant applications must be approved internally before submission to the funding agency.
Please submit a Research Application Summary Form (RASF) and copy of your funding application via RAIS to ORS by the RASF submission deadline.
The RASF requires the following signatures and must be completed for both Principal Investigators and if you are a co-applicant on a joint application with another institution:
- Principal Investigator (PI), or UVic co-applicant if applying with an external PI
- Supervisor (for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows only)
- Department Chair or School Director
- Research Centre Director, if applicable
- Dean of Faculty
RASF submission deadlines: Unless otherwise noted, the RASF Submission deadline for all funding competitions is two weeks prior to the external funder's deadline.
- "RASF submission deadline" refers to the date of clicking "Submit" on the RASF using the RAIS system, which sends a draft application to your faculty grants officer.
- Updated versions of your application can subsequently be emailed to your faculty grants officer to attach to your RASF.
- The application attached to your RASF should be close to a final draft to facilitate a robust review by faculty grant officers and ORS.
