Consultation is now open on the draft revised policy and new procedure for Reallocation, Renewal and Reduction of Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) at Memorial University.

Find the revised draft documents here.

Proposed revisions include:

• Change of the policy name for clarity;
• Separation of policy principles and procedural aspects including the introduction of a new related procedure;
• Alignment with updated guidelines from the CRC Program; and
• Updates to better define roles, responsibilities, expectations, and administrative processes related to CRCs at Memorial.

The initial review was led by the associate vice-president (research) and is informed by CRC Program updates, the institutional Research Strategy 2023-28 and operational realities from Memorial’s administrating unit, Research Initiatives and Services.
