Dear Colleagues, I wanted to inform you that the Government of Canada has updated the STRAC FAQhttps://science.gc.ca/site/science/en/safeguarding-your-research/guidelines-and-tools-implement-research-security/sensitive-technology-research-and-affiliations-concern/frequently-asked-questions-faq-policy-sensitive-technology-research-and-affiliations-concern page to include new information on validation and enforcement (see questions #22-26):

* 22. How will research applications be validated for compliance? * 23. How and when will grant applications be selected for validation? * 24. Who is conducting the validation, and what information is shared with them? * 25. Is the primary applicant responsible for the validity of the attestations of other members of their research team? * 26. What happens if findings are uncovered that indicate a potential policy breach? If you would like more information about STRA and STRAC policy, please refer to our page: https://www.ulethbridge.ca/research/federal-policy-sensitive-technology-rese...

Please let me know if you have any questions. Sola [Image] Olusola Fasunwon, PhD.,P.Geo. Director, Office of Research and Innovation Services 4401 University Drive, Lethbridge, Alberta T1K 3M4 (P) 403-329-2034 (E) oris.director@uleth.camailto:oris.director@uleth.ca

The University is located in traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory. We honour the Blackfoot people and their traditional ways of knowing in caring for this land, as well as all Indigenous Peoples who have helped shape and continue to strengthen our University community.

All applications/proposals/notices of intent must be approved by the Office of Research & Innovation Services (ORIS) using the Research Proposal Form (RPF) on the Bridgehttps://bridge.uleth.ca/selfservicetwbkwbis.P_GenMenu?name=bmenu.P_MainMnu with a copy of the application. Therefore, applicants and co-applicants should allow sufficient lead time for a thorough review at each approval level. The RPF must be received before an application is submitted electronically to a funding agency. The faculty member's responsibility is to ensure that the ORIS receives a completed RPF well before the agency deadline.
