OSR Checklist Signature Guidelines

University policies and the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences (FMHS) require that researchers fill out an OSR checklist prior to submitting their applications for external funding. This policy includes applications submitted directly by the researchers, without OSR's relay.

Note: Typically, individuals appointed as FMHS Academic Associates are not eligible to apply for external research funding as Principal or Co-Applicant.

For grant applications from FMHS investigators administered by the University (Institution Paid: McGill University), the procedure is as follows:

1. Complete an OSR checklist at least 2 business days prior to OSR's internal deadline

  • Please consult specific funding announcements for their respective OSR deadline.
  • If you selected "YES" to the following items in the Planning & Resources section, please append the following forms to the OSR checklist:
    • Faculty Salary Request form: for any grants that provide salary supplements or salary replacement. This form will be reviewed by your Department Chair and the FMHS Vice-Dean, Academic Affairs.
    • Table of Commitments form to identify cash/in-kind commitments provided by your Dept or the FMHS in support of your project. This form will be reviewed by your Department Chair and the FMHS Associate Dean Research. 
  • If you are unsure whether you need to fill out these forms or how, please contact your corresponding OSR Officer. If you are unsure who to contact, please reach out to the info.osr [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Requesting%20assistance%20from%20an%20OSR%20grant%20specialist., body: Please%20specify%20the%20sponsor%20and%20program%20you%20are%20applying%20to%3A%20) (OSR info desk).

2. Submit the checklist and optional forms to your Department Chair for signature.

3. Once your Chair has signed off, submit the checklist and optional forms to riac.med [at] mcgill.ca at the FMHS Research Office to obtain the Associate Dean Research's (ADR) signature. 

4. FMHS Research Office will return the checklist and optional forms, duly signed by the ADR, back to you.

5. Submit the signed checklist and optional forms to OSR.

For grant applications from FMHS investigators administered at affiliates institutions, please contact your local research office.
