If you are trying to add a team member or a sponsor agency/program and you don’t see the option, likely, they have not been added to the system yet. Reach out to curesearch@carleton.ca to request that they be added.

Submit an Approval Form by following these steps:

• Click “Apply New” at the top right of your cuResearch homepage.
• Select Approval Form under CORIS Awards (see a screenshot)
• Select Approval Form under A. OVPRI Approval Form

The most important reasons to submit an approval form are:

• To enable fund opening when your project is successful. The file you create through this submission is used to alert Research Financial Services to open your research funds, after any compliances are issued, if required.
• To obtain institutional approval to complete the application process, which is conditional upon ensuring your Chair or Director and the Associate Dean of Research are aware of your application and approve of the institutional commitments described therein.

Complete an approval form when you are:

• Applying to an external organization for funding, i.e., your application contains a budget
• Applying for an internal research funding program administered by OVPRI
• Submitting a nomination to an external agency for an honour or distinction
• Requiring institutional signatures on letters of support or applications to an external sponsor
• Responding to a request for a proposal
• Entering into contractual arrangements with another party, including:
  1. Research contracts
  2. Research grant agreements (for leverage in industry-government projects)
  3. Service agreements
  4. Memorandums of Understanding (MOU)
  5. Purchase orders (for funds coming into Carleton)
  6. Intellectual Property agreements
  7. Licensing agreements
  8. Supervising a student or postdoctoral fellow who has been awarded funding from an external agency, such as Mitacs (excluding scholarships); the student’s project must be submitted (and an account will be opened) under the supervisor’s name
