Indirect Cost Funding
It is the policy of the HSFC not to fund indirect costs of research whether the direct costs are funded nationally or provincially. The definition of indirect costs of research for the purposes of this policy is:
"costs which cannot be directly associated with a particular research program or operating grant including costs associated with the operation and maintenance of facilities (from laboratories to libraries); the management of the research process (from grant management to commercialization); and regulation and safety compliance (including human ethics, animal care and environmental assessment)."
