Academic departments and other units often initiate non-research, academic-led activities with partners from government, non-profit and industry that require preparation and review of contracts.

The UILO has recently been given the responsibility to administer such funds and has established a process that also facilitates the creation of a Specific Purpose Grant account (or the updating of an existing SPG) to assist with the required management and reporting associated with each agreement.

Approval Process

In order to have a Non-research Contract (NRC) approved, please forward a completed NRC Information Form to the UILO.

The form can be completed by the Project Manager responsible for the NRC, however the relevant Dean and Department/Unit Head must also sign to authorize the set up of the account.

Submitting your Request

Once completed, NRC Information Forms may be forwarded by email or in hard copy to:
