The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada (SSHRC) (hereinafter the Agencies) require that the research they fund be carried out in accordance with high standards of ethics and integrity, and that the grant funds be spent in compliance with certain procedures and requirements.

The Agencies have mechanisms in place to assist institutions, researchers and applicants in upholding principles of integrity in research. The Tri-Council Policy Statement: Integrity in Research and Scholarship and the Framework for Tri-Council Review of Institutional Policies Dealing with Integrity in Research are a few of the documents that set out the roles and responsibilities that institutions, researchers and applicants agree to adhere to, in return for financial support.

The Agencies, with input from, the Association of University and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), have undertaken a review of the Agencies' policy framework for research and scholarly integrity, and financial accountability, and are providing regular updates on their work to address key action areas. The agencies and the AUCC remain committed to continuous improvement in this important area.
