The ▇▇▇▇ may delegate signing authority to the Vice- ▇▇▇▇ Research. For grant applications to be administered by the Hospital, the Department Chair’s signature is not required. However, a copy of the cover sheet and a summary of each submitted grant should be provided to the Chair of the Department in which the principal investigator holds her/his primary appointment. ii) When the research grant is to be administered by the University, senior signing authority will be vested in the President of the University (or his/her delegate). A copy of the cover sheet and a summary of each submitted grant application should be provided to the Hospital if the Health Professional faculty reports to the Hospital Vice-President Research (or equivalent). iii) When the research grant is to be administered by the Hospital, senior signing authority will be vested in the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Hospital (or his/her delegate). iv) When significant Hospital resources, such as salaries, space and services, are used in research projects, the grant will ordinarily be administered by the Hospital.
