“91��ɫ is pleased to partner with CASRAI and support its initiatives to streamline the research administration process,” said Robert Haché, 91��ɫ’s vice-president research & innovation. “The continued development of these standards will help our researchers save time and improve efficiency during the funding application process.”

CASRAI provides both a forum and the mechanisms required to standardize the data that researchers, their institutions and their funders use to describe research activity.�� Key benefits for the research community include saving time for researchers, improving access to quality data for institutions and funders, and clarifying the measurement of research impacts on society.

"We are very pleased to see 91��ɫ joining this initiative," said David Baker, executive director of CASRAI. "Their expertise and innovative contributions to the CASRAI mandate will be highly valued. We look forward to this collaboration."

The 91��ɫ membership with CASRAI provides the University and the Office of Research Services with access to information on standards that will help streamline the grant application process.�� The information can also be applied to the way researchers describe their research activities on their CVs.

By standardizing the data that researchers use to describe research activity, the University can further pinpoint its strengths and challenges. This in turn, will help 91��ɫ move forward with research planning.

“This agreement enhances collaboration for researchers at 91��ɫ and Southlake,” said Robert Haché, 91��ɫ vice-president research & innovation. “By signing this agreement, 91��ɫ and Southlake are taking steps to streamline our efforts and maximize our resources to promote greater efficiency of the ethics review process.”

Pat Clifford, director of research at Southlake, echoed Haché’s sentiment and said he��is encouraged by the agreement, as it will lay the groundwork for Southlake to work with 91��ɫ on additional collaborative research projects.

“As Southlake transitions to a ministry-designated teaching and research facility, our relationships and collaborative efforts with our academic partners will become increasingly important,” said Clifford. “This agreement is illustrative of our commitment to advancing our academic and research agenda, and I’m thrilled at the prospect of being able to free up resources so we can conduct additional research with more efficient and less redundant process.”

As part of this agreement, only one board of record will exist for any study conducted at either institution and it will be either the 91��ɫ Research Ethics Board or the Southlake Research Ethics Board depending on the location where the majority of the work will be conducted and/or the��home institution of the majority of the researchers.

As the board of record, Southlake’s Research Ethics Board and the 91��ɫ Research Ethics Board may approve, reject, propose modifications to, put on hold or terminate a research study at its sole discretion.

For more information, contact Alison Collins-Mrakas, 91��ɫ's senior manager & policy adviser, research ethics, at acollins@yorku.ca,��or ext. 55914.
