Common Funding Sources

 


My Research Applications & Agreements (MRA)

Except where noted, funding applications must be accompanied by a submission through the My Research Applications & Agreements (MRA) submodule in the My Research (MR) portal. For external applications, this process does not replace submission of the completed application to the sponsor, which must be done separately. The MRA system facilitates internal review and endorsement of research funding applications. 

Applications take time to move through the MRA system. Please submit your MRAs at least 2 business days before the MRA deadline set by RSO. RSO deadlines can be found on each corresponding funding opportunity page in the RSO Research Funding Opportunities Database.

For help with using MRA, please see the VPRI MRA information page, or contact the Help Desk at 416-946-5000 or RAISE@utoronto.ca.
