In order to obtain institutional endorsement, applicants must send an RPIF that is filled out and signed by the PI, Head and Dean (or delegate), along with a draft of the application to ResearchOffice.ubco@ubc.ca
Use the Research Project Information Form (RPIF) to obtain the required internal signatures:
- UBC Applicant (Principal Investigator)
- Department Head or Director of School or Institute
- Dean or designate
Signatures required for co-applicants
A co-applicant signature page, signed by the relevant Department /Unit Head/Dean is required when the co-applicant is from a different UBC Department/School than the applicant. Please use the UBC Internal Co-Applicant signature page, which can be found on the UBCO ORS forms page.
External institutional signature is required for co-applicants outside of UBC. Please use the UBC External Co-Applicant signature page, which can be found on the UBCO ORS forms page.
If you are a co-applicant on a grant application initiated by a PI at another institution, you must still submit a copy of the application with required UBC signatures for ORS review and approval.
Physical signatures are no longer required on applications submitted through NSERC’s online system.
