MATCHING FUNDS AND INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT

Some projects require demonstrations of institutional support.  FCAT can support project development in the following ways:

• Institutional Letters of Support - If you require a Faculty letter of support, please reach out to the Associate Dean Research at fcat_adr@sfu.ca.  
• Matching Fund Contributions - FCAT will work with the Chair of your Unit to mobilize cash or in-kind contributions in line with the VPRI supports detailed on 丁香园AV's Institutional Support website.  We recommend speaking to your Chair first, and then approach the FCAT ADR, before finally approaching the VPRI office.  Please note that matching funds are subject to availability.
• Other Supports - If you require some other form of support for your project, please reach out to the Associate Dean Research at fcat_adr@sfu.ca to discuss.
