9 : 00 – 12 : 00 Research Finance I: Workshop All
Room TBA Renewal of the Tri-Agency Financial Administration Guide: an
overview and application of changes
Chair: Amanda Sawlor (University of Guelph)
Speaker(s): Deanne Babcock (University of Western Ontario)
Diane Johnston (University of Waterloo)
Dave Reinhart (McMaster University)
Angela Zeno (York University)
There are two parts to this morning Finance Workshop:
Part 1 – Deanne Babcock, Diane Johnston, Angela Zeno:
The Tri-Agency Pilot Project will be discussed from a process
perspective while also keying in on specific changes to the Guide.
This will be a panel presentation with three institutions that have
been a part of the Pilot who will relay their experience and
implementation of the guide at their institution. Best practices will
be shared.
Part 2 – Dave Reinhart, Amanda Sawlor:
The second part of the morning will consist of a case analysis
outlining areas where the application of the current and revised Tri
Agency Administration guide will differ, with a hands-on
demonstration of the differences. Both of these morning sessions
will focus on specific revisions to the Guide based on experiences
from the Pilot institutions. Some examples are the treatment of
supplies, goods and services, leaves, post doc term limits,
compensation and benefits, and travel.
9 : 00 – 12 : 00 New Administrators Workshop Beginner
Room TBA Co-Chair : Dominique Michaud (Concordia University)
Co-Chair: Karan Singh (Concordia University)
This workshop focuses on the needs of individuals within their first
24 months of taking up a position in research administration.
Discussions will cover many challenges facing administrators today
in a complex research environment. Highlights include the
importance of understanding the role and responsibilities of
research administrators within the institutional, local, national and
international funding environment and how they can be perceived
as a valuable resource to their institution. Tricks of the trade will be
shared as well as helpful experiences and lessons learned.
P a g e | 11SUNDAY, MAY 26, 2019 – DIMANCHE 26 MAI 2019
Time / Heure Session Type Level / Niveau
9 : 00 – 12 : 00 Strategic Planning Workshop Intermediate∕
Room TBA Chair: Drew Gyorke (University of Toronto) Advanced
Speaker(s): Lorna Very (University of Calgary)
This workshop will review the concept of strategic planning and
how it impacts the goals and objectives of research institutions.
Universities create strategic research plans and also set strategic
objectives which are often linked to these plans but also stand as
goals in and of themselves. Operationalizing these plans and
objectives impacts research administration teams in direct and
indirect ways.
The first part of the workshop will examine the overall approaches
universities take in setting plans and goals, with roundtable
opportunity to examine features of strategic research plans, from
how they came together, to who is involved, and what the
opportunities are for research administration.
The second part will feature a presentation on a specific strategy
and plan. The third and final part will focus on the strategic
planning involved in how research services support their institution
and their faculty in reaching their goals. This often includes
navigating issues such as centralization vs. decentralization, service
levels, efficiencies, and metrics. The overall goal of the workshop is
to provide an opportunity for dialogue across the various ‘strategic’
domains that impact research offices, and generate practical
strategies to assist research administrators in their work.
9 : 00 – 12 : 00 Learning to Individualize Coaching: Workshop All
Proposal Review and Feedback 4.0
Room TBA Co-Chair: Sherri Klassen (University of Toronto)
Co-Chair: Suzanne Jaeger (University of Toronto)
Grant facilitators regularly provide advice for faculty preparing
grant proposals. This ranges from coaching around choosing
opportunities for which to apply, critiques of the merits or logic of a
proposal, and/or editorial advice. In this session, we will discuss the
challenges we face in providing constructive advice. This hands-on
workshop for grant facilitators will explore issues around
establishing credibility, effective forms of communicating
feedback/advice, and responding to different researcher
personalities. The session will include a combination of
presentation, small group discussion, and role-playing.

Room TBA Tri-Agency Transfer of Funds vs Service Agreements/Contracts:
Best Practices
Chair: Le Ha Lewis (University of Calgary)
Speaker(s): John Cornwell (University of Saskatchewan)
Leeann Liew (Simon Fraser University)
Building on the information presented at CARA in 2018, this
workshop will continue the discussion on the differences between a
transfer of funds (i.e. from a primary institution to a secondary
institution) vs. a service agreement/contract. We will look at
examples of each, review the definitions and reporting
requirements between the two. Breaking out into groups of similar
sized institutions, we will review best practices, sharing how each of
our institutions administer and manage certain issues or processes.
We will solicit topics for discussion prior to the workshop. In
between topics of discussion, we will test your knowledge of
research administration with some trivia questions, with a chance
to win some prizes.
1: 15 – 4 : 15 Supporting Impact Strategies in Grant Applications Workshop All
Room TBA Chair: David Phipps (York University)
Speaker(s): Kristen Jensen (York University)
Michael Johnny (York University)
Creating socioeconomic impacts from research is increasingly a
feature of provincial and federal grant applications, especially of
partnered grant applications and applications from foundations and
charities with a specific mission. We have heard from grant
reviewers that when all else is equal in the research and capacity
sections it is the impact strategy that wins the day around the
review table. Our TTOs already support commercialization
strategies for NSERC I2I and other commercially oriented grant
programs. But who is supporting knowledge mobilization strategies
for SSHRC and knowledge translation strategies for CIHR and Health
Charities?
This workshop will provide an overview of the emerging impact
agenda among Canadian research funders. It will present tools from
Research Impact Canada, Canada’s knowledge mobilization
network, including a case study of using these tools for a SSHRC
Partnership Grant. It will also provide opportunities to have your
impact strategies assessed by research impact practitioners in a
hands-on impact clinic.

Virginie Portes (Université de Montréal)
Research Development (RD) has emerged as a distinct set of
activities from traditional Research Administration (RA) yet both
overlap in the shared goal of enhancing researcher and institutional
competitiveness for sponsored research. In addition to proposal
development, RD promotes capacity-building activities for strategic
research advancement, knowledge mobilization/communication
and enhancement of collaboration/team science. This workshop
will define and discuss RD and RA and present different institutional
models from a Canadian and U.S. perspective. How do the different
models work? What are the challenges? What kinds of skills are
required? RD office structures and job descriptions that are
centralized, decentralized, and a hybrid with traditional RA models
will be explored by a panel from Canada and the US followed by
interactive large and small group discussions and brainstorming.

Speaker(s): Monique Racine (Universities Canada)
Is Canada's extraordinary research record receiving the international
recognition that it deserves? Is Canada successfully promoting global
excellence to the full extent required in the 21st century? What can
be done to build on Canada's major international research
achievements, especially in recent years?
The Global Excellence Initiative was launched in 2012 to enhance
Canada's research profile on the global stage. Among other
activities, this initiative aims at increasing the international
recognition for leading scholars and scientists in Canada by providing
support towards the nomination of such scholars and scientists for
major awards.
Learn how this initiative can offer support to your institution in
building “compelling dossiers” for your candidates in the nomination
process for international awards by:
- working with your institution to identify top candidates for major
international research awards and prizes.
- facilitating external reviews of your draft nominations before
submission to international award agencies

1: 15 –3 : 00 Tri-Agency Update on Gateway Presentation All
Room TBA Chair: Corinne Guindon (CIHR)
Speaker(s): Barbara Kieley (CIHR)
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council and the Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council have combined efforts for modernizing
their grants management solutions (GMS) with the Gateway
Initiative. The Agencies envision that Gateway will result in a GMS
that meets the standards of excellence the Tri-Agency staff and
Canadian research communities expect in terms of efficiency, inter-
operability, accessibility and usability.
To achieve this vision, the Agencies would like to solicit your input
to:
1. Contribute to their understanding of the stakeholder
experience, motivations and needs by collecting insights on the
research community experience with the granting process and
systems;
2. Build on the existing work of the research community by
helping to refine the intended outcomes for the initiative.
These insights will serve to improve researchers’ experience and
help the Gateway team make informed decisions to guide the path
forward.
1: 15 –2 : 00 The Plan: best project management tools for research projects Presentation All
Room TBA Chair: Lan Chan-Marples (University of Alberta)
Speaker(s): Vesna Bajic (University of Toronto)
Good project management skills are essential for success of research
projects. Since research projects deal with lots of uncertainty,
standard project management tools need to be tailored to this fast
changing environment. In this presentation, you will have an
opportunity to look at a few case studies where principles of
effective project management were applied to research projects.
Tools such as project plan, work breakdown structures, Gantt chart
schedule, risk management plan, and other elements will be
showcased to anticipate and respond to common issues and
problems which affect research projects.

Time / Heure Session Type Level / Niveau
The writing retreat in higher education has evolved as a way to
increase publication output. This can make retreats attractive to
research offices as “building a publication profile is pivotal to
developing and increasing…competitiveness to win grants”
(Kornhaber et al., 2016, p. 1210-11). But what are some other
benefits of retreats for research administrators and the faculty that
they support? Natasha Wiebe will describe the University of
Windsor’s biannual writing retreat and workshop series, share some
long-term outcomes reported by participants, and discuss challenges
and future possibilities. Veronique Covanti will share the experience
of a pilot writing retreat in the Faculty of Education at the Université
du Québec à Montréal, highlighting the ways that it could foster
collegial support, professional development, and creativity.
1: 15 –2 : 00 Contracts and Ethics: Working Together Presentation All
Room TBA Chair: TBA
Speaker(s): Lauren Gogo (Hamilton Health Services)
In clinical trials, key pieces of mitigating risk include both the
contract governing the trial, as well as the ethics board reviewing
the protocol and consent forms. When working together, these 2
teams can strengthen the position of both the hospital and the
patient in terms of avoiding unnecessary risk.
This presentation will discuss the main functions of an REB and a
Contracts Team separately, as well as where they intersect. It will
also touch on ways to strengthen interactions between the REB and
Contracts teams of an institution. A conversation stream type of
discussion is also planned so participants can hear each other’s best
practices.

Room TBA Présidence : Nicolas Riendeau (Université du Québec à Montréal)
Panéliste(s) : À venir
Plusieurs problématiques de recherche en sciences sociales
concernent l’étude de groupes ou de personnes dont la vulnérabilité
doit être prise en compte. Pour ces chercheurs, les considérations
éthiques sont multiples et doivent faire l’objet d’une importante

Speaker(s): Karen Mosier (University of Saskatchewan)
Anne Ballantyne (University of Saskatchewan)
Faculty need funding to carry out their research. The art of writing a
grant has become the lynch pin to getting funding and having a
successful research program. Contrary to popular belief,
grantsmanship involves much more than having someone do a quick
proofread and goes well beyond just having a second pair of eyes to
look at the final draft. Grantsmanship is about justification and
involves considering all the nitty gritty details that are often
overlooked. Ideally, true grantsmanship begins after the faculty

member has subsequently rewritten several drafts of the proposal
after incorporating feedback from multiple colleagues,
internal/external reviewers, research facilitators and/or grant
writers. This presentation will include a comprehensive overview of
all the components required in a thorough grant review. This
overview will present a step by step process to deconstruct the art
of reviewing a grant and hopefully change the way people think
about what constitutes grantsmanship.
2 : 15 – 3 : 00 Compliance Dressed up as Service: Presentation All
Room TBA The USask Institutional Approver Model
Chair: Angela Luciano (Concordia University)
Speaker(s): John Cornwell (University of Saskatchewan)
Tera Ebach (University of Saskatchewan)
Karen Yang (University of Saskatchewan)
The institutional approver model was implemented at the University
of Saskatchewan (a member of the U15) to provide independent
review and approval of Tri-Agency research expenditures. The five-
member team of professionals are embedded in colleges but report
centrally to the manager of financial operations. This organizational
independence diminishes the influence of researchers, colleges, and
units. It empowers the approvers to be change agents, which is
pivotal to the success of this model. A key outcome is a major
culture shift, assisting the university to realize institutional
consistency in policy/guideline interpretation through service
delivery. Working closely with clients, the institutional approvers
focus on continuous improvement of business processes to achieve
the university’s compliance and operational excellence objectives.
Institutional approver engagement with their clients demonstrates
this is a service, not policing, enhancing the client experience. The
approvers have become trusted advisors, grown professionally, and
developed their capabilities. This session includes the depiction and
benefits of the model design, and examples of efficiency
improvements to streamline operational processes for internal
billings of research related service providers (College of Agriculture
and Bioresources phytotron, Health Science Supply Centre and the
Structural Science Centre).

Established in 2011, the Alliance of Canadian Comprehensive
Research Universities (ACCRU) is a partnership of 40 universities
from across Canada. With membership spanning all ten provinces,
ACCRU is representative of the diversity of Canada’s post-secondary
landscape, be it size, language, or location. Combined, ACCRU
members represent nearly half of all Canadian universities. By acting
as a collaborative whole, ACCRU is able to accomplish the following
objectives:
Identify best practices to enable the most effective
execution of research at ACCRU member universities;
Identify and encourage collaborative research initiatives
amongst its members and other research institutions,
nationally and internationally;
Enable its members to respond to new research
opportunities and developments in a coordinated and timely
fashion; and,
Act as a voice for communications on research and scholarly
activity issues important to its members with research
funding agencies, policy makers, and the public at large.
In this presentation, the key issues facing medium and small-sized
universities, such as, undergraduate student research, EDI and Tri-
Council, and the RSF, will be addressed along with solutions that
strengthen the eco-system of Canadian universities.

L’avènement des technologies de l’information et des
communications se traduit par un flot continu de données
extrêmement variées, structurées ou non, produites par divers
acteurs (entreprises, individus, États, objets), résultant de nos
activités en ligne ou dans l’espace physique (géolocalisation). Avec
les avancées en informatique et en intelligence artificielle, et une
meilleure compréhension des algorithmes, de plus en plus de
chercheurs utilisent des données massives dans le cadre de leurs
projets de recherche. Ces nouvelles méthodes de recherche
soulèvent plusieurs questions concernant la collecte, le traitement,
l’entreposage, le partage et l’utilisation des données. Entre autres,
quels sont les principes qui doivent guider le traitement des données
massives pour des fins de recherche? Quels sont les risques pour les
personnes dont les données sont recueillies? Qu’advient-il du
processus de consentement? Comment prévenir des atteintes à la
vie privée?

Nearly 21 years after its creation, the Canada Foundation for
Innovation (CFI) was made a permanent fixture of the Canadian
research environment with the recent signing of the 2019
Contribution Agreement with the Government of Canada. This new
context of operations opens exciting future possibilities for CFI to
better serve the research community, if not only that it provides a
long-term planning horizon to foster strategic investments in capital
and human resources. Wrapping up in February 2019, CFI’s pan-
Canadian conversation was meant to probe the community at large
for feedback on its directions in the years to come.
In this session, CFI representatives will provide an update of future
activities with an emphasis on the key messages and issues raised
during the pan-Canadian conversation, as well as feedback received
on the Draft Call for Proposals of the 2020 Innovation Fund. CFI will
seek to validate with the community some of its findings as it is
preparing an action plan for later release describing how some of
the suggestions will translate in the short, medium and long run.

Chair: TBA
Speaker(s) Kevin Rogers (Saskatchewan Polytechnic)
Many universities have begun to recognize the potential for research
collaboration with colleges and polytechnics. It makes sense for the
researchers, and can be a great benefit to both institutions. There
are differences between the institutions, and the more that those
differences are understand the easier collaboration will be, right
from application through budgeting and right on to final reporting.
This presentation will provide a list of things that universities should
be aware of when undertaking such collaborations.

La recherche-création est un domaine de recherche quelque peu
méconnu. Regroupant plusieurs disciplines et pratiques, et n’ayant
pas de définition commune, il est parfois difficile pour les
chercheurs-créateurs de trouver des sources de financement pour la
réalisation de leurs projets de recherche-création. S’agit-il d’un
financement pour de la recherche, de la création ou de la recherche-
création? Comment sera reçu et évalué le projet? Par ailleurs, les
conseillers à la recherche qui accompagnent les chercheurs-
créateurs dans leur démarche de financement sont-ils bien outillés
pour le faire? Les méthodes d’accompagnement sont-elles
différentes pour des projets de recherche-création et des projets de
recherches? Pour s’y retrouver, cette plénière présentera le point de
vue d’un chercheur-créateur et d’un conseiller à la recherche.

Room TBA Chair : Lan Chan-Marples (University of Alberta)
Speaker(s): Denise Maines (University of British Columbia
Okanagan)
This session will focus on using data to develop a pro-active
research facilitation plan. The examples stem from the Natural
Sciences and Engineering, where funding held is often correlated
with research productivity. The first part of the session will explore
ways to build meaningful datasets, both for a single competition
(e.g. Discovery Grants), or for a research community’s funding
history over a number of years. Analysis of these data can help
identify gaps and opportunities in grant applications, highlight
areas of strength, and provide insight into the types of support
that would best meet the needs of individuals or departments.
Cohort analysis can provide further insight. For example, early-
career researchers in the first three years of their appointment
face specific challenges, while full professors may have different
priorities than those heading for tenure. This approach works best
in small-to-medium organisations, but some of the lessons learned
can be applied generally.

Accreditation Canada
In 2017, Human Research Accreditation Canada (HRAC) was
formed by a group of advocates for the protection of human
research participants’ rights and welfare. The accrediting body
addresses the inconsistency in research participant protection
oversight between animals and humans. It proposes to accredit
Human Research Protection Programs of Canadian organizations
through a voluntary, peer-driven program based on education and
excellence with a primary focus on human research participant
protection.
One of the primary ethical justifications for conducting human
research is to benefit society. Because human research seeks to
understand something not yet known, participation in human
research is not without risks. Given the fundamental importance of
human research, society must ensure that research is conducted
ethically, scientifically, and in a manner that safeguards the rights
and welfare of research participants.
Accreditation of human research provides assurance that human
research is being conducted safely and ethically and that
safeguards are in place to protect the well-being of the public
when they choose to participate in research. Accreditation of
human research provides the public with a high level of trust in
human researchers and confidence in the data they produce upon
which societal decisions are made.
