Manage your award

Setting up your award

Each host institution has a different process for setting up an award — it is best to confirm the process with your host institution.

Scholar awards are set up through the host institution’s finance department. Research Trainee awards are set up through the host institution’s Office of Research Services or Office of Graduate Studies. We make quarterly award payments to the host institution and payment schedules for award recipients are determined by the host institution.

Reporting requirements

Award recipients are required to provide regular reports. Our Research Competitions staff will contact you to request your annual progress report.

Multi-year awards require annual progress reports and an end-of-grant report at the end of the award. Final financial statements are also required three months after the end date of the award.
