Specific Research Grants Program
The Specific Research Grants Program
permits, under certain conditions, a researcher to receive a research grant
in lieu of salary through a mechanism which includes peer oversight. While
grants awarded under this program are considered as taxable income, the
grant payment will be treated as a T4A income for tax purposes and no income
tax will be deducted by the University. The award recipient is responsible
for reporting the income to the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency and declaring
against it eligible expenditures.
PENSION INFORMATION (new for May
1, 2007)
All applicants receiving a Specific
Research Grant from competitions on or after May 1, 2007 will have an adjustment
made to pensionable earnings and pension contributions as outlined in Appendix
B of the application form. If you have any questions please contact Terisa
Ducharme at extension 77564 or email duchart@yorku.ca.
