Transfer Agreement (Tri-Agency)

• Funds can be transferred from your Tri-Agency award to a researcher at another Canadian institution that receives Tri-Council funding if the researcher is listed as a co-investigator on your application. Generally, Tri-Agency funds cannot be transferred to collaborators or someone outside of Canada.
• If you are transferring to a co-investigator at another eligible Canadian institution, a transfer letter of agreement is established and signed by the Research Services Office in Guelph and the Office of Research of the institution to receive the funds.
• To complete the transfer letter, we require the following information:
  • Name of researcher (at Guelph)
  • Name of co-applicant to receive funds
  • Name of institution that co-applicant is to receive the funds through
  • Account number (Guelph)
  • Amount to be transferred
  • Budget (how is applicant to spend the funds)
  • Time period to use the funds
