  • Policy statement

    It is the policy of Clearflow to ensure that a contribution towards an organization’s indirect/overhead costs are part of any research agreement for the period covered by their contribution agreement. This policy is applicable to all research agreements with Clearflow.

  • Effective date

    This policy applies to all new contribution agreements that commence on or after September 1, 2020. It will be reviewed five years after the implementation date and periodically thereafter.

  • Scope

    This document details Clearflow’s policy regarding the compensation of indirect/overhead costs incurred by Canadian Universities and Colleges carrying out research projects subject to a contribution agreement with Clearflow.

Overhead compensation rate

  • Non–Tri-agency grants

    Clause 5.1

    15%

    For non-Tri-agency grants, a maximum fixed overhead compensation rate of 15%, applicable to Clearflow’s contribution towards the direct program/project costs eligible for the application of the overhead compensation rate OR the Universities/Colleges stated policy overhead compensation rate, whichever is lower.

  • Tri-Agency grants

    Clause 5.2

    0%

    For Tri-Agency grants (SSHRC, NSERC, and CIHR): Canadian universities already receive overhead through the federal Research Support Fund (averaging 22-25% of total funding). Therefore, for eligible Tri-agency grants covered by the Research Support Fund, the overhead rate on Clearflow contributions shall be 0%. Indirect costs should not be included in individual grant applications to Tri-Agencies programs covered under the Research Support Fund.
