The key objective of the Indirect Costs program is to help eligible universities, colleges and affiliated research hospitals and research institutes create an environment which maximizes their use of the total federal investment in academic research.
Le Programme de financement des coûts indirects, administré par le Secrétariat du Programme des chaires de recherche du Canada, est maintenant un programme permanent auquel 113 universités, collèges et hôpitaux de recherche affiliés sont admissibles.
