Dear Colleagues,

In keeping with the Tri-Agency requirement to clearly indicate a Claimant’s affiliation with the Principal Investigator’s (PI) research group, when submitting advance requests and expense reimbursements on a research grant where the Claimant is not the grantee (PI) , a new field has been added in Minerva (effective December 1, 2016):

“Claimant Affiliation”

  • Free form text field
  • Appears on all forms under the Fund Code field on the first screen
  • Maximum of 75 characters may be entered
  • Field must be completed when the Claimant is not the grantee (PI) of the research grant being charged

 

Notes for data entry:

1. For Claimants other than the grantee (PI), the affiliation with the grantee’s research group must be specified. Examples of affiliation:

  • Graduate Student
  • Research Staff
  • Collaborator
  • Visiting Researcher
  • Guest Speaker
  • Project Manager

2. For payments to vendors, who the expense is for and their affiliation to the research group must be specified.
