Webinar: Principles-Based Tri-Agency Guide on Financial Administration – Feb 11, 2020 French

This session will be delivered in French.

We are pleased to invite the University of Toronto research community to learn more about the new Tri-Agency Guide on Financial Administration (TAGFA) that will be coming into effect on April 1, 2020 by participating in one of the four webinars being offered by the Tri-Agencies in February. The webinar is open to all who hold, manage, or apply for Tri-Agency funding – faculty, business and finance officers, research facilitators and administrators.

The new TAGFA will use a principles-based approach to determining eligible expenses on grants awarded by NSERC, SSHRC, or CIHR, retaining some directives on expense eligibility, while deferring more to each institution’s own policies. A team within the Division of the Vice President, Research and Innovation (VPRI) has been working to prepare the University of Toronto for the new TAGFA’s implementation, collaborating closely with other Divisions and learning from the experiences of the twelve institutions in Canada that have been piloting the new guide to date. The team’s work continues and will update the community as we get closer to April 1st with our process.
