Use the Research Project Information Form (RPIF) to obtain the required internal signatures:
- UBC Applicant (Principal Investigator)
- Department Head or Director of School or Institute
- Dean or designate
Note that any internal UBC cash contributions included in your application budgeting should be detailed on the RPIF final page, including “worktag” or source account number.
Internal UBC Co-Applicants: electronic acceptance of Applicant’s invitation to participate in the application meets SSHRC signature requirements. However, the UBC-O researchers need relevant Department/Faculty to review and sign a co-applicant signature page when the co-applicant is from a different UBC Department/School. The UBC Okanagan Co-Applicant signature page can be found on the Forms page.
External Co-Applicants on UBC submissions: electronic acceptance of Applicant’s invitation to participate in the application meets SSHRC signature requirements.
Co-Applicants on a SSHRC application being initiated by a Principal Investigator at another institution need to submit a final copy the application, and RPIF, for review to ORS even though the submission is going forward from another institution.
Confirm with the final signatory on your RPIF (usually the Associate Dean, Research), if they will forward the RPIF via email on your behalf, or if you will receive the RPIF from them to send to ORS (ResearchOffice.UBCO@ubc.ca ).
