The University of Alberta remains in compliance with all research funding requirements, supporting the eligibility of the university’s world-class researchers. Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) expectations established by major funders continue to guide our practices — including those of Canada’s federal Tri-Agencies (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council), the Canada Research Chairs Program and the Canada Excellence Research Chairs Program. We remain fully committed to ensuring alignment with these standards.
With guidance from the Vice-Provost (Access, Community and Belonging) and the Office of the Vice-President (Research), we support researchers in meeting grant criteria, demonstrating accountability, and upholding the highest standards of research excellence and integrity. Our approach is careful, measured and fully consistent with funder policies, ensuring that our processes comply with funding eligibility and sustaining the excellence and quality of University of Alberta research.
As part of the university’s core mission, we are committed to ensuring the conditions for success for U of A researchers in Alberta, in Canada, and on the global stage as they advance high-impact scholarship.
