Research Support Fund
The Indirect Costs Program has been replaced by the Government of Canada's Research Support Fund program.
Established in 2003, the Research Support Fund (RSF) helps Canadian universities and colleges, along with their affiliated health research institutes and research hospitals, with the indirect costs associated with federally-funded research. At Dalhousie University and affiliate hospitals, the RSF supports research space facility fees, electronic data access and resources, Research Services’ staff, regulatory compliance, and research commercialization and intellectual property services and support.
