Standard Tithe Agreement for Tri-Council Expenses
As a result of a Tri-Council monitoring visit conducted in May 2011, a recommendation was made by the Tri-agencies (NSERC, SSHRC and CIHR) regarding tithing fees charged to Tri-agency research projects. A tithe is defined as a fee charged for the use of shared services, equipment or supplies. In this case tithing fees would relate to shared expenses amongst Principal Investigators within a department, incurred for the purpose of carrying out research activities. Usually a department representative would administer and reconcile these shared expenses.
In order to address this recommendation, Research Accounting has created a Standardized Tithe Agreement, as per below, to be used for this purpose in order to comply with Tri-agency requirements.
