| Research Facilities | The grant helps to maintain the quality of technical support for research laboratories and offices and offsets a portion of the actual expenditures related to their operating costs. |
| Research Resources | The Research Support Fund grant supports the maintenance of research resources. For example, HEC Montréal boasts one of the best existing bilingual business library. This library is known for its vast digital collection and resources. The grant helps offset the cost of acquiring electronic subscriptions. |
| Management and Administration of the Institution’s Research Enterprise | A significant proportion of the grant is allocated to expenses related to the salaries of Research Office staff, notably for staff who provide administrative support for monitoring grants and helping our professor-researchers prepare grant applications. Thanks to the Research Support Fund grant, the Research Office can offer researchers access to the best resources and services in research grant management. This funding is essential for maintaining our research activities and ensuring our capacity to recruit the necessary expertise to respond to the numerous requests we receive from our researchers. |
| Regulatory Requirements and Accreditation | Research ethics is a constantly evolving field, and to make sure that our researchers comply with ethical requirements, HEC Montréal is committed to giving the Research Ethics Board (REB) the human, financial and material resources it needs to fulfil its mission of defining and implementing a policy that meets the requirements of Canada’s three granting agencies. |
| The Research and Knowledge Transfer Office is responsible for the enforcement of policies relating to intellectual property. The grant covers a portion of the cost of administrative support for administering partnership agreements, developing business opportunities, and commercializing academic research. |
| Research Security | The growing threats to post-secondary education sector, and more specifically to scientific research, makes Research Security a strategic issue for our institution, both in terms of legal compliance and data protection. Funding from the Canadian Government allows HEC Montréal to put in place clear and sound research security measures to protect data, research infrastructures and people involved in research. The federal government's research security fund allows us to meet these objectives by supporting training and awareness of research security issues in our community, as well as funding the establishment of a committee responsible for defining and implementing specific actions to be taken to better detect and mitigate risks in our relations and partnership with external organization, both foreign and domestic. |
Research support fund
The Research Support Fund helps Canadian post-secondary institutions pay for the indirect costs of research. By reducing the financial burden of hidden expenses such as lighting and heating, this program allows researchers to devote their energy to cutting-edge discoveries and excellence.
Whether it be the salaries of staff who provide administrative support for monitoring grants and helping our professor-researchers prepare grant applications, these hidden, or «indirect», costs of research represent a significant challenge for Canadian institutions.
The Government of Canada introduced the Indirect Costs Program, now called Research Support Fund, in 2003 in order to assist post-secondary institutions with these real and necessary costs. This program, which is permanent, provides Canadian universities and colleges with an annual grant to help pay for a portion of their indirect research costs.
Regardless of whether the funds are used for the maintenance of libraries, laboratories or research networking spaces, the aim of the program is the same: to ensure the ability of Canadian research institutions to operate at the leading edge.
Every year, the federal government invests in research projects through its three granting agencies:
- the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC);
- the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC); and
- the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
The Research Support Fund reinforces this research investment by helping institutions ensure that their federally funded research projects are conducted in world-class facilities with the best equipment and administrative support available.
Research security
In the 2022 Federal Budget , the Government of Canada introduced new funding opportunities through the Research Support Fund (RSF) to further support activities pertaining to the indirect costs of research security, and to support the National Security Guidelines for Research Partnerships.
The investments in research security will provide $125 million over a five-year period, starting in 2022-23, and $25 million ongoing each year, in addition to the existing investments for the RSF and Incremental Grant Projects (IPGs).
Research security now constitutes a fifth priority area of the IPGs. These investments are aligned with the RSF’s objectives aiming to help Canadian postsecondary institutions ensuring that their federally funded research projects are conducted in world-class facilities, with the best equipment and administrative support available. By directing funds to specific investments, and to annual or multiyear projects initiated by institutions, research security funding will help building capacity within postsecondary institutions to identify, assess and mitigate the potential risks to research security.
Research security funding is calculated as a percentage of each institution’s eligible direct research funding amounts above $2 million. Funding is awarded for one year only. Institutions must re-apply each year and meet all terms and conditions to continue receiving funds. Research security funding will be calculated and dispersed to institutions separately from the RSF and IPG allocations. The funds granted to institutions should be used to build capacity to identify, assess and mitigate potential risks to research security, in support of the full implementation of the National Security Guidelines on Research Partnerships. Institutions must spend the funds in the year of the award and report on the use of these funds annually. Research security funds can be used to support multiyear projects whose outcomes will be available only at the end of a longer period of up to three years. The application allows the institution to apply for funding for the next phase of the project, providing that it continues to meet reporting and eligibility requirements.

The federal government invests research funds in the fields of health sciences, engineering, natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities through its three granting agencies : the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). The Research Support Fund (RSF) program strengthens these research investments by helping institutions ensure that their federally funded research projects are carried out in world-class facilities equipped with the best equipment and administrative support available.
Institutions that receive a base RSF grant of $530 000 or more must provide two investment stories.
Management and administration of the institution’s resarch activities
Investment Story No. 1
The Research Support Fund (RSF) grant plays a crucial role in maintaining the vitality of the research environment at HEC Montréal by contributing to the financing of a team of three research grant advisors. Although their work is often carried out behind the scenes, their contribution is decisive in enabling researchers to transform their ideas into funded projects and increase the School’s competitiveness in securing research funds.
The research funding landscape has become particularly complex in recent years. Programs offered by federal and provincial granting agencies have multiplied, administrative requirements have become more refined, and competition among institutions has intensified. In this context, researchers must devote considerable time to identifying the most relevant funding opportunities, interpreting evaluation criteria, and preparing high-quality applications. Thanks to the RSF’s support, the three research grant advisors assist faculty members at each of these critical stages.
Their involvement often begins well before an application is submitted. The advisors continuously monitor funding programs and guide researchers toward competitions most likely to support their scientific objectives. This strategic support increases alignment between proposed projects and the expectations of granting agencies, thereby maximizing the chances of success.
The advisors also play a key role in improving the quality of applications. They review proposals, analyze their coherence with evaluation criteria, suggest improvements to structure and content, and ensure administrative requirements are met. Their expertise enables researchers to present stronger, clearer files better suited to the expectations of evaluation committees. This contribution is especially important for new professors, who benefit from personalized support during their initial funding efforts.
The presence of these specialists helps strengthen the institutional research capacity of HEC Montréal by assisting researchers in obtaining more competitive funding.
Thus, by supporting the maintenance of this highly specialized administrative expertise, the RSF enables HEC Montréal to offer a high-performance and competitive research environment. The program’s contribution is essential for ensuring researchers receive the support necessary to obtain funding that sustains the excellence and influence of Canadian university research.
Investment Story No. 2
The Research Support Fund (RSF) grant contributes significantly to maintaining a dynamic research environment at HEC Montréal by supporting the activities of advisors in valorization and knowledge transfer. Their expertise enables researchers to better protect, manage, and maximize the value of knowledge, innovations, and tools resulting from their research work, thereby maximizing the scientific, economic, and societal benefits of public investments in research.
In a context where research projects generate increasingly numerous results with strategic value, researchers must navigate complex issues related to copyrights, databases, software, methodological tools, collaboration agreements, and opportunities for commercialization or knowledge transfer. Without specialized support, many opportunities to protect or maximize the value of these results could be lost. Their involvement often begins in the early stages of a project, when questions surrounding intellectual property can influence how results are disseminated, shared, or exploited. They provide strategic advice enabling researchers to understand the implications of their choices and to implement appropriate protection mechanisms when necessary.
The advisors also intervene when partnerships are established with external organizations, companies, or other higher education institutions. They contribute to negotiating and analyzing intellectual property clauses to protect the interests of researchers and the institution while promoting fruitful collaborations. Their expertise ensures responsible and efficient management of research results funded by public funds.
Beyond legal and administrative aspects, their work fosters a culture of research valorization within the institution. By raising researchers’ awareness of opportunities for knowledge transfer, innovation dissemination, and mobilization of results among user communities, they help increase the tangible impact of research carried out at HEC Montréal. This approach promotes the visibility of the expertise developed at the School and strengthens the links between university research and societal needs.
The presence of this specialized expertise is an essential element of the institution’s research infrastructure. By enabling researchers to identify and adequately protect high-potential results, while facilitating their dissemination and use, advisors in valorization and transfer contribute directly to the vitality and sustainability of the research ecosystem.
