Office of Collaborations and Partnerships
The Office of Collaborations and Partnerships stems from a consolidation of units reporting to the Office of the Vice-President (Research).
The Core Research Equipment and Instrument Training Network (CREAIT) and Major Research Partnerships (MRP) will remain separate but both will now report through the Director, Office of Collaborations and Partnerships.
Institutional applications and reports to programs offered through the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Canada Research Chairs (CRC), the Atlantic Innovation Fund (AIF), and the Research & Development Corporation (RDC) of Newfoundland and Labrador that are currently administered through the Office of the Vice-President Research, including MRP, will now be administered through the Director, Office of Collaborations and Partnerships.
Account administration for awards that are currently residing in academic units will continue to reside in those areas.
The Office of Collaborations and Partnerships will serve as the institutional point of contact with CFI, the CRC secretariat and RDC.
