When a researcher receives funding from an internal or external source,  Research Initiatives & Services is notified by that agency. Before the funding is released to the researcher via a research account, a number of steps must be taken to ensure the research is in compliance with the appropriate legal, regulatory and ethical requirements.

These steps are necessary to ensure that researchers, and the university in general, are compliant with the requirements of funding agencies and the law.

Researchers should obtain the appropriate certifications related to:

• Animal Care, via the Animal Care Committee 
• Human Ethics, via the Interdisciplinary Committee on Ethics in Human Research (ICEHR) or Health Research Ethics Board (HREA)
• Biosafety, via Environmental Health and Safety
• Radiation, via Environmental Health and Safety
• Hazardous Materials, via Environmental Health and Safety
