Reminder:

York University faculty members are reminded that applications for external sources of funding (i.e. outside York) must first be submitted to the Office of Research Administration (ORA) before forwarding them to the granting agencies. When submitting to ORA, applications must be accompanied by a completed ORA application checklist (including the Chair’s and dean’s signatures). To assist in meeting the agencies’ deadlines, it is recommended that applications normally be submitted one to two weeks prior.
