Why complete an 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.
