Applicants e-mail trsm.src@torontomu.ca with required details and documentation as stipulated in the GTA Conference Grant guidelines. The Research Support Specialist reviews the details and documentation for eligibility before forwarding to the Associate Dean, Research and Graduate Programs for approval. Applicants are informed of the final decision by the Research Support Specialist.
Recipients of the GTA Conference Grant are expected to pay for the conference and seek reimbursement for conference registration fees (up to $250) afterwards. Please submit an iExpense (with conference registration fee receipt attached) to the Research Accounts Support Officer and e-mail your brief 2-page report to trsm.src@torontomu.ca.
Before traveling for research purposes, you should complete a Research Travel Authorization Form (RTA) that will review and approve for your one up (Chair, Director or Dean). This form is part of the backup documentation for claims related to travel. In addition, faculty expense claims are made through iExpense.
When paying research participants, please attach the Declaration of Receipt as a backup of your iExpense claim.
For instructions on how to submit a research expense claim, this is the key terms and functions for your reference. The iExpense system requires a secure network access to run, which requires access to Toronto Metropolitan's secure network known as TMU-VPN. For assistance installing TMU-VPN on your laptop or computer, please contact the IT Helpdesk.
If a submission is complete and everything is on track, expect the claim to be approved within 95 hours of submission (this includes weekends and holidays).
